Wallaroo Mines Primary School is a stone's throw away from the mine after which it is named, and is surrounded by a rich and fascinating history. The school has set about bringing local history to life for its students with a range of projects which culminated in the creation of a miniature replica of the mining settlement as part of a waterwise garden at the school's entrance. Wallaroo Mines Primary School is one of Kadina's best kept secrets with a growing reputation for making a difference with all learners. Our school provides broad and balanced learning opportunities for students through a school-wide emphasis on literacy, numeracy and social skills. A newly developing focus on Asian Studies sets us apart from other primary schools in the area. Investment in digital learning is highly valued and the school has interactive whiteboards in all classes, wireless hotspots throughout the site and a range of portable, wireless devices available for students to fully engage in their learning. Wallaroo Mines is a small school with a family focus that values respect for individual differences and honest, open communication and trust. The school has spacious grounds and encourages a healthy, active lifestyle with the new gym set to be a centre piece.
