Our School

At Warringa Park School, we are committed to developing independent, confident learners through collaboration, respect and high-quality learning. We are a community that values student voice, recognises individual strengths, and holds high expectations for every learner.

Students are at the centre of everything we do. Our dedicated and highly skilled staff work together to ensure every student can access meaningful learning and apply their skills across a range of real-world settings. We share a strong belief that all students can learn and want to learn, and this belief underpins our commitment to excellence in education for every child.

Warringa Park School offers a balanced, personalised curriculum designed to support positive learning outcomes and successful post-school pathways. Strong foundations in English, Mathematics, Science and Technology are complemented by inquiry-based, play-based and project-based learning approaches. These enable students to explore the world around them, experience success, and develop a strong sense of belonging within our school community. Students also engage in a rich range of specialist subjects including Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Science, Music, STEAM and Digital Technologies.

High levels of engagement and improved learning outcomes are further supported through our one-to-one iPad program. We are proud to be recognised as an Apple Distinguished School, reflecting our commitment to purposeful and innovative use of technology to enhance learning.

Alongside academic growth, student health, wellbeing and inclusion are central to our work across all campuses. We provide safe, stimulating, flexible and challenging learning environments where achievement is acknowledged and celebrated. Our modern, well-resourced facilities support the diverse needs of learners and reflect our commitment to preparing students for life in the 21^st century.

Warringa Park School has been recognised for its inclusive and high-quality practice, receiving the Victorian Excellence Award for Outstanding Inclusive Education in 2018 and being named a finalist for the same award in 2023. In 2022, Assistant Principal Kim Zammit was awarded Outstanding Secondary Teacher for her leadership in reforming the Secondary Years program.

We value strong partnerships with families and welcome parent and carer involvement. Working together ensures our students receive the support they need to thrive in both their learning and wellbeing.

Please feel free to contact the Principal Class Team – Tim Hilton, Kim Zammit, Danielle Heckmann, Amy Byrne, Alex Stewart or myself at any time on 03 9749 5774.
