Winchelsea Primary School is located in the township midway between Geelong and Colac on the Princes Highway. The school celebrated its 125th Anniversary in 2003 and remains the only school to service Winchelsea and the surrounding district. The buildings and grounds offer a range of resources to support the curriculum. These include a gymnasium shared with the community, a well equipped music room, a library, language centre, resource room, art room and a community room, withdrawal rooms in addition to teaching and administration areas. The school’s mission is to provide a top quality education that allows individual students to progress sequentially and developmentally from prep to year 6 to the best of their ability. Being close to the Surf Coast and large provincial work locations the schools enrolments are expected to increase over time as commuters move into the area. Post year 6 students’ move to either Colac or Geelong and often attend up to 10 different secondary schools which creates a difficult transition area. About 1/3 of students come by bus from outlying areas while the remainder are driven to school. More...We now offer Newsletter Alerts!
