We cherish and appreciate the distinctiveness of each of our students and strive to assist them in growing confidently and flourishing in their unique identity. ~ Our exceptional staff team has designed a knowledge-rich curriculum that is tailored to meet the needs of our Wellgate Primary School community. We are immensely proud of this curriculum as it facilitates the development of our students into articulate communicators, avid readers, and socially inclusive individuals with impeccable behaviour. ~ Children spend their days developing new language and exploring and engaging in new experiences through awe and wonder.
