Warringa Park School is a specialist school located in Hoppers Crossing. The school population is drawn from the City of Wyndham and caters for students aged 5 to 18 years who have a diagnosed intellectual disability. Warringa Park is a P-12 school with four campuses – the Warringa Crescent Campus which caters for Foundation to year 6 students, the Polly Parade Campus which caters for Foundation to Year 3 students, the Bethany Road Campus which caters for years 7 to 9 and the Cayleys Road Campus for Years 10-12 students completing the Victorian Pathways Certificate (VPS). As a rural campus in Werribee South, the Cayleys Road Campus also offers an alternative vocational education program for students in years 7 to 12. The school currently has an enrolment of 690.

Warringa Park School promotes and values excellence in education for students with additional learning needs. There is a strong belief amongst teaching staff that all students in our school can learn and want to learn and by working together we can make a difference to their learning achievements. The school provides a balanced and personalised curriculum where improved learning outcomes in English, Mathematics, Science and Technology are seen as integral to the achievement of successful post-school options. A high level of student engagement and improved student learning is being achieved through a one-to-one iPad program. The school is an Apple Distinguished School.

As well as pursuing academic excellence, student health and wellbeing are strongly promoted across all campuses. The school provides a stimulating, safe, challenging and flexible learning environment where student achievement is acknowledged and celebrated. The facilities and centres of learning are spacious, bright and well-resourced to meet the needs of the 21st century learner. In 2018 it was recognised in the Victorian Excellence Awards for Outstanding Inclusive Education.

The home-school partnership is highly valued, and we welcome parent involvement in our school to ensure that our students have access to all the supports they require in their learning and wellbeing.

Please feel free to contact the Principal Class Team – Caitriona Toland, Danielle Heckmann, Kelly Botha, Tim Hilton, Kim Zammit or myself – at any time on 03 9749 5774.
