CURRICULUM SUPPORT AND ENRICHMENT

A key feature of Warracknabeal Primary School in supporting and enriching our core curriculum is our commitment to student learning through continual immersion in "extra" activities which often includes involvement and interaction with our community members who have many skills to offer.  We believe that this breadth of experiences assists in developing a wide range of skills to prepare children for further education and to be active contributors in our society.
