Welcome to Wilkins Public School's website. I believe every child can succeed and I believe that structure, support and creativity will allow us to achieve these expectations. Public schools represent the full cross section of society and form the basis of the democratic lifestyle that we enjoy. A school that delivers bright, confident, expressive and cooperative students gives us great leaders and citizens for the future. Wilkins Public School is a dynamic school with enthusiastic and dedicated staff who work closely with parents and carers to ensure educational achievements and opportunities for all students across all stages of learning. Our school has a strong community culture and our goal is to make a positive difference for all students. As you browse through the website you will find countless examples of how the school community works together to provide a caring, culturally diverse, tolerant and happy learning environment for our students. Arts are highly valued at Wilkins Public School. We have excellent dance groups and well supported school bands and ensembles and a dedicated music programs. We also recognise the importance of teaching foreign languages to children so children in Years 1 - 6 can choose to learn Italian, Portuguese or Vietnamese as part of the curriculum. We are fortunate to enjoy large leafy grounds that provide children with lots of space to learn and play. Our core values are consideration, care and courage. We also place great importance on honesty and respect for each other. We endeavour, together with parents and the community, to reinforce these values in a happy, safe and caring environment. We have high expectations for all children and provide holistic, structured care and support at the welfare, curriculum, community and relationships levels. We consider all students’ needs and adapt the curriculum to support and extend their learning outcomes. We are courageous in systematically identifying, assessing and improving all aspects of school life, as well as student performance. We believe consultation and collaboration between staff, community and students furthers the success of Wilkins Public School. We are incredibly proud of our school, our students, our staff and our parent community. Jason Wilkins
