Welcome to Wirrabirra School

Wirrabirra School comprises both a Primary School and an Education Support Centre in which the organisation and operations of the two schools are inclusive with many advantages in providing targeted learning programs and maximising resources avaliable.
 
The learning programs at Wirrabirra reflect the principles and values of the Curriculum Framework.  The design of the school, grounds and additional facilities gives the opportunity for flexible and innovative teaching methods which enhance the learning programs for our students.
 
We are proud that we have many interesting specialist programs which form a vital part in the life of our school.  Wirrabirra has a well-developed Music Specialist program that provides tuition to all Pre-Primary to Year Seven classes. This program includes an excellent junior and senior choir, two recorder groups and an instrumental group. Selected students also participate in guitar and flute tuition.  A Physical Education program operates with a specialist teacher from Pre-Primary to Year Seven, a “"Bluearth"” sports program and an After School Sports program.  In LOTE (Language Other Than English) Italian is taught from Years 3-7. A Sensory Awareness facility operates to support student learning programs.

A Library research and skills program operates for all classes integrating information communication technology (ICT). This is backed up by a fully networked campus and the use of interactive whiteboards. In addition we have a strong focus on Environmental Education and sustainable living supported by permaculture gardens, chooks and birds in keeping with the Student Manifesto.  

Wirrabirra has a School Chaplain; School Based Liason Officer and a strong P&C and School Council. Pastoral care is a major focus across the school and whole behaviour strategies enable us to provide strong learning programs.

We at Wirrabirra welcome visitors to our school. Parents and Carers are encouraged to regularly visit the school and develop a close working partnership with teachers and the school staff.  
 
As a result of this interaction, students at this school are able to enjoy many positive and worthwhile educational experiences. We believe that interaction such as this develops a challenging and appropriate education for your child.
