Choosing a Primary School for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make in your child's life.

Make the RIGHT Choice!

The Educated Choice!   

Small Class Sizes  Woodside Primary School prides itself on maintaining some of the best student teacher ratios in the state.  Operating three spacious well appointed classes we deliver the kind of personal education most schools only dream of!  Our teachers know their students needs and have more time to help YOUR child. 

A Culture of Excellence  Woodside Primary School consistently achieves excellent results.  Whether it is Academia, The Arts or Sport, Woodside Primary leads the way and EVERY child is given the opportunity to be involved.  

Satisfied Customers  We surveyed 100% of our families using (DE&T) parent opinion survey.  Our parents told us exactly what they thought.  Our data placed us amongst the top schools in the state including giving us a massive 6.6 out of a maximum 7 in the General Satisfaction category.  Wow!  

Outstanding results  State-wide testing has shown outstanding performance in key areas such as English & Maths.  We provide extension for gifted & talented students through open-ended tasks, which encourage higher order thinking.  We also provide one to one intervention for children who require extra assistance from Prep to Year Six.  Not just in Year One.  

Cool classrooms!  All of our rooms including the library are fully air conditioned.  Gone are the days of sweating it out in the hot Summer weather.

Wouldn't it be nice to know you don't have to queue up to use a computer?  Woodside Primary School has some of the best computer ratios in the state.  

Learning Technologies  Learning Technologies are a major focus at Woodside Primary School.  Our excellent resources in this area allow our children to routinely use; word processing, spread sheets, digital photography, email, the internet, scanners, digital microcope and now a data projector as well. 

Room to move and learn!  All our rooms are spacious and well appointed.  Children have room to really stretch out and explore topics if they need to.
