Special Edition July 2020
What is the Willo way? Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education. |
Our culture of positivity and optimism is known as the Willo Way. This affirmative philosophy is underpinned by the universal acknowledgement that students have the right to learn and teachers have the right to teach. Our teachers provide quality teaching and a strong system of pastoral care, and community engagement supports learning. Our vision is to inspire and empower students to develop responsibility and enthusiasm for their own learning.
We take pride in providing a quality education for all students. We are committed to student well-being and development of social responsibility, with community, Australian and world perspectives. Extracurricular activities afford additional opportunities for our students to enhance their personal, cultural, recreational and spiritual growth. Student achievement in all areas is outstanding and celebrated.
We are delighted to celebrate the achievements of our students and staff over the past 10 years.
