Department of Education Victoria – Scarsdale VIC 1d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria Established in 1994, Woady Yaloak Primary School was formed through the community-driven amalgamation of four rural schools located in Smythesdale, Snake Valley, Scarsdale and Ross Creek, approximately 20 kilometres south-west of Ballarat. This union brought together four historic goldfields communities and continues to reflect the strong rural identity of the area. Woady Yaloak operates as a multi-campus school, offering the intimate setting and strong relationships typical of small rural schools, while providing the resources, opportunities and professional collaboration associated with a larger school. The school is committed to unifying these four communities and fostering a strong sense of belonging for students, staff and families. Our shared vision is captured in our motto: "Achieve Together". The school operates under a single administrative structure, with the main administration centre located at the Smythesdale campus. All campuses have benefited from significant capital works in recent years. The Smythesdale, Snake Valley and Scarsdale campuses feature modern learning studios that open into large flexible spaces used for campus-wide activities, assemblies and specialist learning areas such as libraries and visual arts spaces. The Ross Creek campus includes open-plan learning spaces, dedicated intervention rooms and additional flexible learning areas to support small-group instruction and targeted teaching. Each campus is supported by attractive outdoor learning and recreation environments, including extensive grounds and four recently installed playgrounds that support active play and outdoor learning. In 2026, Woady Yaloak Primary School comrises 16 classrooms across the four campuses.



Specialist teachers deliver programs in Japanese (LOTE), Health and Physical Education, The Arts and Science, ensuring students have access to a broad and engaging curriculum. Each campus has an office-based Education Support (ES) staff member, with additional ES staff working across the school to support student learning, wellbeing and targeted intervention programs. Leadership is provided by one Principal and two Assistant Principals, who work across all four campuses to support the Campus Heads and ensure consistent implementation of school priorities and practices. As one school community, we share common beliefs, values and a clear educational mission. We place a strong emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy, while also fostering student wellbeing, resilience, tolerance and a healthy lifestyle. This work is supported by our Behaviour Education Program, with a strong focus on embedding the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework to promote safe, respectful and inclusive learning environments.
