Walliston has a comprehensive and inclusive Kindergarten (4yo) to Year 6 (12yo) program with 185 students working in partnership with the family and school community, promoting the development of an independent, responsible and confident learner. In 2015 the school also commenced a Pre Kindy class (3yo). Many parents regularly assist in various classroom activities and mentoring and Support-a-Reader programs. The P&C is strong and supportive, raising funds for significant projects to supplement the school's resources. The School Council meets twice each term with parent, community and staff representation. All students wear school uniform encouraging pride and school spirit.

The wait is overā€¦ the time has finally come to release our 2026 Staff Book Week video!

This year, our staff have embraced the much-loved classic Dear Zoo ā€” with plenty of enthusiasm, laughs and the usual Book Week craziness along the way!

We hope our students, families and wider school community enjoy watching it as much as our staff enjoyed creating it.

So, what did the zoo send us this year? There's only one way to find outā€¦

Numero

During the April school holidays, Mrs Field joined a wonderful group of educators at an introductory Numero workshop, expanding her knowledge and skills in this engaging mathematics program. Keen to learn even more, she also stayed on for the competition preparation workshop that followed.

We are excited to see Mrs Field bring new ideas, strategies and enthusiasm back to the classroom, helping our students develop their mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills through Numero.

Thank you, Mrs Field, for your commitment to professional learning and providing the best opportunities for our students!
