Wandana Primary School

Welcome to Wandana Primary School, a dynamic institution located in Gilles Plains, Cowra Avenue, Australia. As a highly regarded establishment and point of interest, we take pride in providing quality teaching and learning experiences for our students.

At Wandana, we offer a comprehensive curriculum from Preschool to Year 7, with a focus on innovative approaches to education. Our priorities lie in fostering strong foundations in Literacy and Numeracy, promoting Positive Education, and nurturing STEM learning. In addition, we provide specialist programs in Auslan (Australian Sign Language), Performing Arts, and Digital Technologies.

Our school community is culturally diverse, encompassing mainstream classes, preschool, and special classes. We strive to create an environment where students, parents, and staff build strong relationships, fostering a sense of belonging and support. We believe in shaping ourselves as a school that instills confidence and pride within the community.

The Performing Arts department at Wandana offers students the opportunity to explore their creativity, express themselves, and unleash their imagination. Through music, dance, drama, and media arts education, our students develop their skills and perform together, creating a positive culture of success and belonging. Highlights of our Performing Arts calendar include School Musicals and Plays, Music Showcases, and Choir Concerts. This year, we are excited to introduce new initiatives such as the Festival of Music Choir, Drumbeat wellbeing program, and a Ukulele Club.

In our classrooms, we strive for engaging and fulfilling learning experiences. A good day for us is when students collaborate, think critically, challenge themselves, ask questions, reflect on their learning, problem-solve, take risks, and enjoy the process. Our dedicated staff and teachers are well-trained, friendly, and caring, ensuring that every student feels supported and encouraged to thrive.

At Wandana, we uphold our school values and prioritize creating a positive and inclusive environment where everyone can have a good time. Our classrooms are inviting, with teachers who are approachable and students who are friendly. Students have the opportunity to work in groups, supporting and listening to one another, while respecting their teachers.

We are proud to be a part of the Department for Education, trading as South Australian Government Schools. Come and join us at Wandana Primary School, where we strive to provide an exceptional educational experience that prepares our students for a bright future.
