Welcome to the 2008 school year at Wallaroo Primary School .

Last year was one of celebration as we excitedly returned to the stone building following the devastating 2006 school fire. The community support and building restoration culminated in a terrific reopening ceremony late in term four.

This has signalled a change in focus for us this year, as we now devote our energy and resources into consolidating the many wonderful learning programs we have in place.

We have begun the year with 7 classes and minimal staff changes. Our first weeks have been organised, calm and focused on building class teams and matching learning programs and support with our learners.

Our Junior Primary Unit had a great face lift during the break, with upgrade of ceilings, floor coverings and wet area. So, our buildings and resources are now first class and we are keen to utilize these to maximize student and staff learning.

We anticipate another busy and exciting year, with the extra challenge of hosting the Small Schools Sports Day in term three.

Our two main areas for school development will be to increase our knowledge in the areas of Restorative Justice and Oral Language. We will also be looking to explore ways that we can provide Out of School Hours Care, how we can manage the new Healthy Food guidelines and how to improve the fitness levels of our students.

We look forward to another year where we strive to teach, model and acknowledge our core values of care, respect, persistence, teamwork, success, pride and learning.

Enjoy your year.
