What Wheelers Hill Primary School does

Wheelers Hill Primary School is a Victorian Government primary school located at 134-148 Whites Lane, Wheelers Hill, Victoria, Australia, operated under the Victorian Department of Education and Training. It provides primary education from Foundation (Prep) through Year 6 for children aged 5-12, with a campus serving approximately 11-50 staff and an implied enrollment in the low hundreds based on school scale commentary. The school's core educational offerings are organized around five pillars: (1) Multi-Sensory Structured Learning (MSL), an evidence-based literacy program using auditory, visual, and kinaesthetic-tactile techniques, which in 2019 made the school the first to receive the Australian Dyslexia Association Certificate of Excellence; (2) a Digital Technologies program including a BYOD scheme for Years 4-6 and a whole-school S.T.E.A.M. and robotics curriculum progressing from Cubetto (Foundation) through Sphero Bolt (Years 2-4) to Lego Mindstorms EV3 (Years 5-6); (3) Numeracy and Literacy programs aligned with the Victorian Curriculum; (4) an Enrichment suite spanning Instrumental Music, Maths Olympiad, ICT Enrichment, Chess Club, and Young Engineers; and (5) student wellbeing programs, including a formal partnership with The Resilience Project and the SWPBS framework. The school also operates an Out of School Hours Care (OSHC) program — established in 1996 by parents — running before-school (7:00-8:45am), after-school (3:30-6:00pm), and vacation care, with publicly disclosed fee tiers ranging from A$21.50 to A$104 per session/day. The school holds multiple certifications including ResourceSmart Schools 5 Star Status (2025), Child Safe Standards compliance, and Department of Education Digital Learning Policy compliance. Technology integration relies on third-party platforms (Compass for school management, SeeSaw, Matific, Mathletics, Nessy, OARS, BrainPOP, Google Classroom, Microsoft Office 365). The school is governed by a School Council with parent and Department of Education representatives, and revenue is not publicly disclosed as it is funded through the Victorian Department of Education and Training.
