Welcome to the Williamstown Primary School website. I am proud to have been part of the Williamstown Primary School community for over 20 years, which all have played an important part in my development as an educator and school leader. The school’s vibrant and welcoming community has always been something that I have highly valued. As you explore the information here, I hope you will get a true sense of the warmth and enthusiasm that defines our school.

At Willy, we place a strong emphasis on building meaningful connections—both within the school and with the broader community. Our focus is to provide every child with an education that prepares them to thrive in an ever-changing world. We know that learning is most effective when it's anchored in real-world experiences, so we foster a school culture where students are not only challenged academically but are also encouraged to be kind, compassionate, and actively involved in the community around them.

At the heart of Williamstown Primary School is our dedicated and talented staff, who play an instrumental role in creating the exceptional learning environment we are so proud of. Our teachers, support staff, and leadership team are deeply committed to providing the best possible educational experience for every student. They bring passion, expertise, and a genuine care for each child’s individual needs and aspirations. Our staff are not only educators but also mentors and role models, fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere where students feel encouraged to take risks, ask questions, and grow. Their tireless dedication to the development of every child ensures that all our students are challenged, supported, and motivated to reach their full potential, both academically and personally. We are truly fortunate to have such an exceptional team at Williamstown Primary, and their ongoing commitment to excellence is a key factor in the success of our school community.

Our Willy Kids are Friendly Kids program is at the centre of this approach. It promotes kindness, respect, and inclusivity, creating a school environment where every child feels valued and supported. Through this program, students develop essential social skills, build strong friendships, and learn the importance of caring for others. Our goal is to ensure that each child grows into a socially responsible, confident, and resilient individual who understands the importance of contributing positively to both the school and wider community.

The strong values and beliefs we uphold at Willy—respect for ourselves and others, responsibility, and a commitment to kindness—are what guide our students on their learning journey. Our school is a place where students can thrive academically, but just as importantly, it's a place where they develop into well-rounded, happy, and respectful young people. We believe in fostering students who are not just successful learners but also active, engaged citizens, ready to make a difference wherever they go.

Williamstown Primary School is proud of its long history, with deep roots in the community since 1873. We are more than just a school—we are an integral part of the Williamstown community, and our connections with local organisations, events, and families enrich the learning experience for our students. Our parents and caregivers are valued as vital partners in the educational process, and we encourage their active involvement in school activities and initiatives.

I invite you to come and visit us, take a tour of the school, and see firsthand how we are helping our students grow and flourish. Should you decide to join our community, you’ll be empowering your child to not only succeed academically but also to be part of a welcoming, kind, and caring environment where being a Willy Kid means making lifelong friendships and contributing to a supportive community.

Thank you for considering Williamstown Primary School – we look forward to welcoming you and your family into our thriving, connected community.
