Wiluna Remote Community School

The Wiluna Remote Community School provides education facilities for four year olds through to year 12 with an on site kindy Pre-Primary Centre, three Primary classes, and two single sex older classes of year 8-12 boys and 8-12 girls. It is a school with strong community connections and high expectations of both students and staff. The teaching staff consists of 12 teachers, 6 of whom are local Teaching Assistants, a School Officer and Principal. The registrar is based in Kalgoorlie.

At Wiluna Remote Community School (WRCS), we believe that all students have the right to learn and teachers have the right to facilitate this learning effectively. Students learn best in a safe, culturally inclusive, welcoming and supportive environment. Staff will create such an environment through the learning activities they initiate, by providing opportunities for cooperative teamwork, forming individual relationships and modelling positive behaviours. Social participation and self-discipline are encouraged at all times. We also believe in the importance of involving families in all aspects of the educational journey.
