Woodland Road Public School

A message from Ambarvale High School

Congratulations to our outstanding young athlete on her impressive performance at the Sydney South West Regional Cross Country Championship yesterday. Finishing 18th out of a field of over 70 runners in the 11 Years Girls race is a fantastic achievement. Well done! We are very proud of you.

At Woodland Road Public School, breakfast isn’t just a meal—it’s a community celebration! Every morning, all students are welcome to enjoy the best breakfast around, made possible by the generous support of Foodbank NSW & ACT. Our trained student volunteers run the program, working alongside our dedicated support staff who supervise and support every step. It’s a welcoming, inclusive start to the day that ensures every child is ready to learn and thrive.

Our courtyard play areas offer students a variety of activity choices. These spaces are consistently supported by Teachers, School Support Learning Officers, and Student Leaders, ensuring supervision and safety. This approach has been part of our routine for many years, helping to maintain a positive and safe environment. Here are just a few snapshots of what’s available for our students each day.

On Tuesday, we proudly competed against the Douglas Park Diamonds in a lively debate on the topic, "All homework and assignments should be group work." Our team secured a victory thanks to our strong and persuasive rebuttals. We thank Douglas Park Public School for challenging us and making it a great debate.

We would like to extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the students who participated, as well as to our chairperson for expertly guiding the debate. A big thank you to our fantastic audience, who listened attentively and respectfully throughout the event.

We are already looking forward to our next debate against the Woodland Road Wombats!

Thank you to Douglas Park Public School for your gracious appreciation. It was a pleasure to host such a challenging debate.

True to our commitment to providing opportunities for students to thrive, our Year 3–6 students, all keen and avid readers, enjoyed a fantastic day at the Writers Festival. They listened to real authors share how they create stories, discovered new ways to express their ideas, and participated in fun activities designed to spark their imaginations. It was wonderful to see their enthusiasm as they connected with books and writers in fresh and exciting ways. The festival inspired our students to think creatively and reminded them that everyone has a story to tell. We are proud of their curiosity and engagement, and we can’t wait to see the wonderful writing they produce back at school!
