About our school

At Warooka Primary School there’s a strong emphasis on student voice. All students are encouraged to help in leading their school – from suggesting ideas for improvements in administration and class structures, through to negotiating their learning.

Our students enjoy access to a wide range of learning tools for daily use in their learning activities. This includes cameras, iPads, laptops and smartboards.

We have a strong physical education program and a Sporting Schools program. Students can engage in a range of sporting competitions, such as:

  • SAPSASA district teams and knockout events
  • the school’s annual cross-country event
  • sports day
  • interschool sports day.

Environmental education is an important focus for our school, with students involved in a range of initiatives and activities.
