Increased Sun Protection

Thanks to the generous support of our entire Wondall community, our P&C have been able to fund the installation of a permanent roof which will see all of our Prep Playground covered. This is a great investment to make our youngest students play area available all year round! The works will occur over the Christmas break, ready for 2024. Thank you!

We are currently working to finalise our 2024 school structure. We ask for your assistance with this, particularly if your child (excluding Year 6) is NOT returning to Wondall in 2024. If this is the case, please contact the school admin@wondallheightsss.eq.edu.au    or 3906 6444  ASAP to help us with class formations.

Right across the bayside area, local schools are experiencing a decline in student numbers. For us, we are looking at a student population based on current estimations of 600 students. 

Considerable planning goes into our class construction including student and teacher allocation. To make our classes successful, we will be running several multi-age classes allowing for teachers and students in these classes to work collaboratively  in teams.

Students will have the opportunity to meet their 2024 classmates and teacher during our Step Up event on the afternoon of Wednesday 6 December. Additional information will also be shared with parents for children who are in these multi-age classes to answer many common questions.

In developing our 2024 classes we have:

• Asked students to identify some friends they would like to be with
• Reviewed individual student needs based on academic, social, behavioural and learning needs
• Reflected on information provided by classroom, specialist and inclusion teachers
• Reflected on information provided by parents

Whilst we recognise that parents might have information regarding placement of their child with other children, we do not accept requests for placement with specific teachers, nor can all requests be guaranteed.

It is with great pleasure that we announce our 2024 Sport House Captains... Congratulations to Romans House- Ruben and Isla, Vikings House- Ella and Matilda, Spartans House- George and Zairah, Trojans House- Sophia and Ashlee

In the coming weeks the remaining 2024 Student Leadership positions will be determined and we look forward to announcing these with our community soon.
