Werribee Primary School would like to introduce the newest member of our community in 2020! Ted is a 14 week old Yellow Labrador who will be assisting the Wellbeing Team on selected days as part of a Helping Dog Trial this term.  

We are looking forward to another great year of teaching and learning and would like to advise you of our parent payment arrangements for 2021.        Please find the booklist and fee schedule attached. Booklist payment is due by 11th December 2020 and Fees are due by 27th January 2021.

As our drinking taps are not in use at the moment, students are required to bring their own water bottles to school each day.  Thank you

Dear Parents/Carers, if you are planning on enrolling your child into Werribee Primary School as a new student in 2021 please enrol them now.  It is easy to enrol - please contact the school on 9742 6659 and we will happily help you with the enrolment process.

Save the Date - The organisation for our 2020 Year 6 Graduation is well under way (making sure we meet the COVID safe guidelines from the Department of Education).  It might look a bit different, but it will be a fantastic celebration for our awesome Year 6 students.

Term 4 finishes on Friday 18th December and the students will be dismissed at 1.10pm.  Please make sure your child is collected on time, or alternative care arrangements made.

Every Day Counts!  Going to school every day is the single most important part of your child's education.  Students learn new things at school every day - missing school puts them behind.  School is better when your child is there.

Welcome to the Werribee Primary Community. We would like to extend a warm welcome and we hope your partnership with our school is a long and happy one.  Due to COVID-19 we have made changes to how we organise transition for our 2021 families. Please click on our current plan. More Information >>

With the new school year fast approaching, we know many parents and carers will struggle to cover the cost of essential school items. This additional stress on families is especially difficult for those already experiencing financial hardship.

Dear parents, carers and guardians,   As students in both mainstream and specialist settings recommence on-site learning in Term 4, I want to thank you all for your efforts during this challenging time. 

The Wyndham Learning Festival is approaching and the whole community is invited to take part in some of the wonderful 150+ learning activities that are taking place 23-30 November.
