Enrolment
The start of primary school is an important time for children and their families.
Children who make a positive start to school are most likely to feel:
-
Comfortable, relaxed and valued
-
Positive about themselves as learners and have a sense of belonging to the school community
-
At Wangaratta PS we create a 'sense of belonging' by taking the time to get to know each child and their family through our detailed transition program.
If you are interested in enrolling at our school, please download and complete an enrollment form or request a Form from our school office at 19 Chisholm Street, Wangaratta or call (03) 5721 2658.
