Department of Education Victoria – Wollert VIC

3d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

Barrawang Primary School opened in January 2023 in the growing northern suburb of Wollert, and has quickly become a thriving and highly sought-after school community. We currently have approximately 440 students across 21 classes from Foundation to Year 6, and in 2027 we anticipate growing to around 525 students across 25 classrooms, with straight-grade classes across all year levels except Years 5/6.

At Barrawang, we believe that smaller class sizes matter. We prioritise low student numbers in every classroom and invest heavily in additional support for our students, with almost one Education Support staff member for every classroom. This allows our teachers to focus on high-quality teaching while ensuring students receive the support they need to succeed.

We are proud of our strong, stable staffing profile, with a dedicated team that has remained remarkably consistent over the past three years. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do our teams plan together, learn together, and support one another to continually improve practice.

New staff are never left to figure it out on their own. Our comprehensive induction program begins in December and continues throughout Term 1, providing structured support, mentoring, and opportunities to build confidence before and during the school year.

Our teaching approach is grounded in explicit instruction and evidence-informed practice, while placing equal importance on student engagement, robust relationships, and creating classrooms where every learner can thrive.

As our school continues to grow, we are looking for passionate, reflective,



and enthusiastic educators who are excited to be part of a supportive team and contribute to the next stage of Barrawang¿s journey.
