Wodonga Primary School has a proud history of working in partnership with the community to offer quality education. Parents are welcomed and encouraged to participate in our school in a variety of ways.

Classes at Wodonga Primary are organised into year level groups. Literacy and Numeracy are our key focus areas with individual student progress tracked continuously to ensure all students are challenged yet successful with their academic endeavours. Classrooms are fitted out with the computers and interactive whiteboards to ensure that all students have access to 21st Century resources.
