Koorie Program |
Wodonga Cares |
FROGS |
A appropriately tailored Koorie program is delivered to students who enrol under this status at Wodonga Primary School.
An DET trained Koorie Educator checks-in with these students on a weekly basis, to engage each student in the learning process and to liaise with staff in relation to learning outcomes and student attendance. The Koorie Educator also provides links between home and school for a more cohesive engagement of student achievement. |
Each year Wodonga PS conducts a special Wodonga Cares event which promotes the giving and caring for others. During our Wodonga Cares week, various charity groups are identified and our student leaders provide information about the work of each group. Our school community also donates money to support these charities. The Wodonga Cares program ensures that students have the opportunity to learn about others and to put our school value of Care and Compassion into practice.

Wodonga Primary and our community have established a fantastic environmental area which houses kitchen garden beds and a variety of animals that are cared for by our students. This area is open for class visits and is supervised during lunch times. Our FROGS area is overseen by a student leadership group — “Friends of the FROGS” who are responsible for the daily care of the animals as well as the visits to classrooms.
