Withers Primary School is located in the southern Bunbury suburb of Withers. Lush native gardens and a large grassed field are significant features of our grounds. Programs include Indonesian, music, learning support and enrichment. Students have the opportunity to participate in instrumental music, sports leadership and a variety of performing and visual arts programs. Values education includes Choose Respect and The Virtues Project. Emphasis is placed on developing a shared vision of core values. In collaboration with the City of Bunbury Withers Primary School places a major emphasis on environmental education. The school is within walking distance of the Maidens Reserve and the school utilises this natural resource extensively. Student engagement in learning is enhanced through the use of modern information technology for teaching, learning and communication. Our literacy approach has an emphasis on both direct instruction and a holistic approach where language opportunities are embedded throughout all learning areas. We have an 'open door communication policy' which has enhanced positive parent-teacher rapport. The P&C is extremely active with an enthusiastic school council.
