Our Community

The staff of Wirrabirra has a wide range of experience from varied backgrounds in education. All staff
undertake regular professional learning on current trends and programs particular to our school. This staff expertise and experience allows the school to operate specialist programs in Physical Education, Music, Languages (Indonesian) and Arts.

The school has a strong pastoral care focus supporting students in their learning and interaction with others supported by a School Chaplain. Students have access to Rainbows (Support program for students experiencing loss or grief) and a SAER (Students at Educational Risk) support team. In addition, the parents have access to the Positive Parenting Program and a Parent Information Centre.

Environmental education and caring for the environment has a significant role in our learning programs.

The arts are promoted through our Music program with choir, instrumental, recorder, ukulele and an
ensemble group. An emphasis on physical skill development and competition is promoted through sports programs.

The integration of ICT and maintaining relevance to learning is supported with new technology and learning
programs.

The school has an active and supportive Parents and Citizens Association that meets regularly. The P&C
oversee the operations of the school fundraising and Clothing Pool. The P&C have made strong commitments to improving our school buildings, grounds and educational resources.

The School Board represents both the Primary and Education Support Centre and is well represented by
parents who participate in the development of school planning, policy and future directions.

Wirrabirra Primary operates fifteen teaching and learning areas supported by a Library Resource Centre,
Music Room, ICT Learning Hub, Science Room, LOTE Room, two undercover areas and school kitchen.

The school also has a purpose-built Dental Therapy Unit on site.
