Wanguri Primary School is located in the Darwin leafy green suburb of Wanguri. Diverse cultures are celebrated and we ensure excellent pastoral care and a strong sense of community and personal growth. Parents as partners in eduction are encouraged both informally and more formally through School Council. Enrolments are from the local feeder suburbs of Wanguri, Lyons and a large area of Tiwi and beyond. A growing number of students are from defence force families and the school has a Defence School Transition Aide who provides an added connection between the school and home. We believe that: Literacy and Numeracy skills are essential; every child can achieve success in their learning journey; it takes our whole community to educate our children, and; that fun, joy and enthusiasm are essential to all our learning. Wanguri School is an open plan design that offers many advantages such as the 'sense of community' that is promoted by caring and encouraging interaction across the school. The school strives for student improvement and has many special child centred programs. We are also a Teaching School for the Charles Darwin University.
