About

West Wyalong Public School is a K–6 coeducational primary school located on Wiradjuri Country in West Wyalong, the major centre of Bland Shire in the Riverina region of NSW. Led by Principal Victoria Jenkins, the school operates with small class sizes, dedicated School Learning Support Officers, and additional teachers and learning support staff who work with students in small groups. The school's vision — to create an environment where every student is known, valued and cared for, empowering students to become kind, resilient, and successful learners through quality teaching and individualised learning practices — reflects a strong focus on whole-community engagement and personalised approaches to student development. Cultural connection is central to school life. The school participates in the Culturally Nourishing Schools Program, supported by a dedicated mentor, and maintains close ties with the Local Aboriginal Lands Council and the local high school. A beautiful Wiradjuri garden on the school grounds provides a tangible expression of this cultural grounding. Curriculum offerings are broad for a primary setting. The school delivers a Structured Reading Program alongside intensive literacy and numeracy programs, with literacy and numeracy growth underpinned by an evidence-based K–6 learning continuum as a key strategic priority. High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) is a named specialism, and students also access specialist music lessons, STEM programs, and EALD support. Ongoing professional development for teachers and greater collaboration with families and the community are current strategic focuses. The school grounds are spacious, with large playing fields, multiple play areas, and outdoor learning spaces that complement the indoor program.
