About our school

Wollongong West Public School is a vibrant and dynamic primary school that has served the West Wollongong community for over 95 years. 

We are a community of learners with a culture of equity, excellence and continuous improvement. We empower students to be resilient, creative and curious global citizens with dignity and purpose. Diversity is our strength and every individual is known, valued and cared for.

Our localised wellbeing framework supports a positive and therapeutic learning environment where all children are supported to connect, succeed and thrive. Strong relationships between all community members are central to our school. 

Student achievement of literacy and numeracy outcomes is a priority for our school, while also highly valuing our strong educational programs across all key learning areas.

Extra-curricular activities offered at our school include choir, dance troupes, sporting gala days and public speaking competitions.

Students are engaged in personalised learning experiences to support each child's growth and achievement. Teachers employ an enquiring mind as they learn and grow as collaborative educators through evidenced based teaching practices developed through high quality professional learning experiences supported by our strong instructional leadership program.

Our school is an active member of the Wollongong Community of Schools and values our supportive wider community, encompassing our Parents & Citizens Association, broad parent/carer body and local community members, including the Northern Illawarra Aboriginal Education Consultative Group, local churches and other community organisations.
