Teacher English - Wadalba Community School

Wadalba Community School (WCS) is a comprehensive K-12 community school. We currently have an increasing student enrolment, with over 300 students in our primary section and over 1300 students in our secondary section, which allows us to offer a broad range of learning programs. We are an inclusive school. Approximately 13% of students identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander.

The school has many specialist facilities which support delivery of a diverse, quality curriculum program, including a recording studio, agriculture plot, vocational education facilities and dance studio. Flagship programs include AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), STEaM, TSP (Targeted Sports Program) and CAPA GATS (Creative And Performing Arts Gifted and Talented) as well as a broad range of co curricular and extracurricular clubs and activities. We also work closely with the community to support cultural affirmation, encourage student involvement in a range of co-curricular groups/ opportunities. 

The school is placed in the centre of the suburb and is well supported by families and the community. The P&C is active, including operating the canteens, uniform shop and hosting an annual market day. The whole school community, involving students, staff, parents, P&C and the local Ngara AECG play an integral role in supporting our school. Key focus areas include strengthening teacher-student-family partnerships to support individual aspiration; student led learning and high quality teaching focused on contemporary practices; and support for being well and whole child growth.
