There’s always so much effort put in to making or sorting out the perfect Book Week costume, and this year was no different. We had characters from all genres and from books long-beloved as well as little-known. Our staff were dressed as many of the tasty snacks from The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and Nellie was (as always) a very hungry doggo-pillar. From Dr Seuss to Roald Dahl, Spider-Man to Darth Vadar, Ruth Bader Ginsberg to Wenda, there was a delightful, enormous, happy love of literature today, and we are HERE for it!

🌻 R E S I L I E N C E 🌻

At our staff meeting this afternoon, we teachers discussed the enormous growth we have seen in resilience over this last twelve months, and how beautifully the students at WPS display this value of ours. Whether it’s standing up in front of strangers to deliver a speech at the Lions Club Junior Public Speaking event, running in race after race after race on an unexpectedly warm winter’s day, identifying dependent and independent clauses in a complex sentence when it still feels like a concept too tricky to grasp, playing tug-of-war against your teachers, or even just showing up at school when you’ve had a tough morning or when your favourite teacher is away… these kids are demonstrating resilience and grit like we’ve not seen before.

We know that success doesn’t just mean getting ribbons (though we celebrate that too!), nor does it mean getting things right the first time (this goes for academic as well as social challenges). All of these seemingly tiny, but so, so big successes are a huge part of why we are all - kids and adults alike - so very proud to be part of the Wooragee school community.

Today, our students proudly took part in Flanno for a Farmer Day, wearing their favourite flannelette shirts to school and showing their support for Australian farming communities.
It was wonderful to see so many students dressed in colourful flannos and embracing the spirit of the day. Through their participation and generous gold coin donations, our students demonstrated our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Community by thinking of others and supporting families who play such an important role in providing food and resources for all Australians.
Thank you to all the students, families and staff who contributed to this important cause. Every donation helps make a difference, and we are proud of the kindness and generosity shown by our Wooragee Primary School community. If you would like to contribute to this cause then please donate via the link.

T’was an excellent display of our values today, when one of our Year Four students jumped up for Show & Share and delighted her class with a rollicking tale of adventure, independence, and almost-heartache, as she cooked up a storm in her kitchen at the weekend in preparation for sharing with her peers and teachers today. This fortnight’s theme is, bring in a favourite recipe or dish, and tell us why it’s wonderful, which has made for quite a few yummy days!

Resilience and responsibility were there in spades when she described the harrowing journey where ingredients were left out, brown sugar quadrupled, and choc chips added at the last minute. Her beautifully crafted recipes, complete with title pages and interesting details, demonstrated a wonderful responsibility for her learning, and look, her grit and resilience (and, she’ll-be-right approach) was beyond measure.

We love opportunities for authentic learning, and this certainly seems to have ticked the boxes! Great cookies! (Oh, and did we mention that she also made a second batch of treats - lemon vegan cupcakes - so everyone could be included?! How lucky we are.)

From a Wooragee parent, on why they chose this school for their family:

“The natural beauty of the school was the first thing that caught our eye. We love the size of the school, not too big or small. The dedication of the teachers goes beyond expectations and their continued connection with the kids creates an emotional safe and nurturing environment.”

We are so lucky!

It was an early celebration today for our wonderful, hilarious, smart, loving, kind leaders, for Australian Primary Principals Day 2026. We could not be more proud to be under the leadership of these two women. They are strong, supportive, and ever-changing to meet the needs of everyone in our school community.

It truly was outta the mouths of babes today, when more than one little student of ours said that their favourite thing about Angela and Grace was that, “We know that they care about us and support us and love us.”

We couldn’t agree more! Boss Lady and Boss Lady 2, we love you!

It sure was chilly this morning, but that didn’t stop a whole lot of fun with beautiful frozen art, solid drips on the railings, frozen sand sculptures, and plants that seem to survive anything!

🌻 100 Days of School 🌻

Before the 100th day fun began, we stopped to think about 100 things we love about Woorage.

The ideas came pouring in; Nellie (our wellbeing dog), our teachers, Yirrikama, our buddies, reading, writing, maths, making new friends, playing together, and so many little, ordinary moments that make each school day special.

Our hearts are full reading through their responses. Seeing our classroom through our students' eyes is such a beautiful reminder that it's the people, the friendships and the sense of belonging that make Wooragee feel like home. We couldn't be prouder of this wonderful bunch. 🌟

AND it has been incredible to watch how much our students have grown over the past 100 days. We are so incredibly proud of the confidence, kindness, resilience and enthusiasm they bring to our classroom every day. Here's to celebrating how far we've come and looking forward to all the learning and adventures still to come! 💛💙

It is a highlight of the year planting with Wooragee Landcare & Community. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the next generation.

It was a ‘second breakfast’ kind of day in the F/1 classroom today! 🥣

As part of our learning about procedural texts, we put our reading and sequencing skills into action by following a recipe to make delicious porridge.

The students carefully read each step, gathered the ingredients, measured, mixed and stirred before enjoying the tasty results together. It was a wonderful hands-on way to explore how procedural texts help us follow instructions, while also building teamwork, confidence and independence.

Learning has never tasted so good! 🌻
