At Wandana Pre-school - 7 our core curriculum focus is on literacy, numeracy and science. While we provide a stimulating, meaningful program in all curriculum areas, we believe that literacy, numeracy and science develop skills and understanding that are crucial to our students' ongoing and long-term success. Our literacy program incorporates 'Accelerated Literacy' and we are part of a regional focus on developing greater reading comprehension. Students are supported in numerous ways in our school, both in class and in small or 1:1 groups. Focused support is provided in our two special classes to students with special needs, including our English as a Second Language students and those with intellectual disabilities. Our school values community partnerships. We have close links with the Wandana Community Centre. Wandana is a safe, welcoming school that promotes a harassment-free and empowering learning culture. All students are given opportunities to have their say on our many student committees and working parties. Students look after our landcare, grow vegetables and take care of our chickens. We strive for excellence and foster individual strengths.
