WPS - Now and in the Past

Wodonga Primary School is situated in the City of Wodonga alongside the Murray River and at the gateway to the Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps. The school occupies a 12-acre site close to the centre of the city and boasts extensive grassed ovals and playgrounds.

The first school was housed in a bark hut in 1875 with an enrolment of 21 students. Mr John Lee was the first Head Teacher and oversaw the new building constructed on the corner of High and South Streets which became known as Belvoir National School. Over time the school has undergone many name changes. The school offered primary and secondary education until primary students transferred to the new Wodonga State School site in Brockley Street from 1951-54 and officially became a primary education facility. The school consisted of three Bristol style buildings at this time catering for an enrolment of 600.

Today, the school is known as Wodonga Primary School No. 37 and offers a wide and varied curriculum to a diverse population of students. The recent addition of new buildings incorporating a gym, music room, childcare centre, library and classrooms further enhances our programs and provides children with a stimulating environment for learning. Our enrolment today, sits around 800 students.
