## About

West Wallsend Public School was established in 1889 with a rich history based on coal mining. It is proudly housed in beautiful heritage buildings and continues to be a focal point for the local communities of West Wallsend, Seahampton, and Holmesville. The school has a growing enrolment due to a new housing estate. An Early Action for Success school, it focuses on early intervention in Literacy and Numeracy. West Wallsend Public School is a member of the Sugarloaf Community of Schools (SCOS), collaborating on future-focused learning initiatives.

With a significant percentage of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, the school is committed to improving educational outcomes to match or exceed those of the broader student population. The aim is to maximise learning opportunities in a purposeful, stimulating, and supportive environment, prioritising high-quality literacy and numeracy education.

The curriculum offers a wide range of activities encompassing performing arts, cultural, leadership, sporting, environmental, and academic pursuits. Support programs are available for those requiring additional assistance, alongside extension programs for gifted and talented students. The school’s vision, 'Every Student Matters Every Day,' reflects its commitment to providing a safe, secure, and supportive environment where students can reach their potential and become confident, creative learners.
