Welcome to Woolooware High School.
Our school values building opportunities to enrich learning experiences for all students, both in and out of the classroom. Students from Woolooware High School (WHS) understand that joining our school means that they will be provided with an extensive array of learning experiences that aim to enrich, challenge and empower all our students to be their very best: intellectually, creatively, physically and socially.
WHS is a dynamic and caring school. Our staff and students form strong partnerships, to ensure that every student is known, cared for and valued. In our school, learning is respected, and student voice is amplified. The wide reaching impact of our school’s annual leadership of the ‘Walk for Respectful Relationships’ and ‘Leadership By the Bay’ region provides testament to the impact of our approach.
There are FOUR PILLARS on which all our values are drawn:
‘W’ Developing and valuing the WHOLE person
‘R’ RESPECTING staff, your peers, yourself and the school
‘A’ Achieving your ACADEMIC potential
‘P’ Showing PRIDE in yourself and your school
These traditions and values provide the foundations for all our actions, decision making and importantly all our innovations. At WHS, we all play our part, and that underpins everything that we do.
We ask that each one of our students, as members of our school community:
- Demonstrate respect every day by making choices that show their teachers and their peers that they value their school and our shared vision.
- Work diligently every day, to ensure that they are achieving their personal best in every subject
- Make decisions to follow school expectations by wearing school uniform and being prepared for learning every day.
- Take the opportunities that are presented to them and to try to participate and learn in new ways.
I believe that WHS is an outstanding school that consistently offers students opportunities to achieve in every possible way. Our school is proud of what we can achieve, together.
We provide an inclusive, disciplined, caring and safe learning environment that encourages all students to learn, achieve their personal best. ‘Student centred decision’ making is more than a catchphrase at Woolooware High School.
Woolooware High School is ‘a Community of Opportunity’, where our students continue to provide us with the inspiration to continue to ‘strive for excellence’, every day.
