Forming a Partnership
|
At Wodonga Primary, we encourage our families to work in partnership with the school. When school and home work together, students develop a more positive attitude towards learning and are motivated, energetic learners. We have an ‘open door policy’ which means that you are welcome to pop into the classroom and support the program that is happening.

COMMUNICATION

The newsletter is an effective way of communicating between the school and parents, informing the school community of any activities and important dates to note.
