Principal Message

I would like to welcome everyone back from what I hope was a relaxing and enjoyable holiday break.

The students have settled into their new classes very well and it has been a pleasure watching the students and teachers work so closely together and thoroughly engage in a variety of lessons in the classroom and activities in the playground.

It has been great to walk around during the mornings or after school having conversations with parents and caregivers. The students have come back to school fresh and look fantastic in their full Windale Public School uniforms. Thank you and it is amazing to see the positive culture we have at our school and within the community.

Class structures

In 2024, we have 12 mainstream classes. 9 of those classes are straight classes with only 3 composite classes. Also, we have our 2 x Emotional Disturbance (ED) classes, 1 x Early Intervention (EI) class, our new Multi-categorical class and our wonderful Preschool as well. Our Schools as Community Centre (SaCC), Milabah will again run 5 days a week and be open to all community members.

We welcome the following new teaching staff to Windale PS: Allison Forsyth is working on Thursdays and Fridays at Milabah with Rosie working from Monday - Wednesday in 2024.

Miss Southon is our new Multi-categorical (MC) classroom teacher, Miss Urbanowicz is the Student Learning Support Office (SLSO) on the MC class.

School Uniforms

At Windale PS, we take great pride in our school uniform. Please ensure all items are labelled with your child’s name.

Just a reminder, that bike pants/shorts are not part of our school uniform. We have skorts and shorts available in the front office. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you need any assistance with uniforms.

School Office Hours

Our office is open from 8.15am – 3pm daily.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Regards,

Principal
