Welcome to Warrnambool West Primary School

At Warrnambool West, every child is known by name. We're a close-knit school community in Warrnambool, Victoria, and we believe that when a child feels known, safe and genuinely cared for, everything else follows.

We offer Foundation to Year 6 with a full specialist program including PE, STEM, Visual Art, Music and AUSLAN, alongside strong, structured approaches to literacy and numeracy grounded in the Science of Learning. Our grounds and classrooms are bright, open and well-resourced, and our staff go to great lengths to ensure every classroom is an inviting and suitable learning space for all students.

Our priority is to ensure that all learners want to come to school, want to learn and experience success. We cater for all students' needs: educational, physical, social and emotional. Our staff are committed to ongoing professional development to ensure they are current with the latest in educational research and practice.

What your child gets here

Strong, structured literacy and numeracy grounded in the Science of Learning. Hands-on STEM in a dedicated room. Inquiry units that connect learning to the world students actually live in. A wellbeing framework built on Respectful Relationships and trauma-informed practice that gives every child strategies for managing big feelings and building good friendships.

What you get as a parent

Teachers who communicate. A genuine open door. A school council that listens. We want parents to feel like genuine partners in their child's education, not just spectators.
