24.01.2022 Great to see some Wodonga South students at the WMYC headstart week.

24.01.2022 As the end of 2020 approaches, our technicians need to inspect all student devices currently in use at Wodonga South Primary School. This process is to ensure that all devices are in functional order for those students who are leaving the school with their computers at the end of the year, giving time for warranty jobs to be completed and non-school copies of Microsoft Windows to be installed. The collection date is the 14th of December. All students are required to bring ...in their laptop, case and charger for inspection. The devices will be collected from the classrooms. Thanks, WSPS Techs.

24.01.2022 In line with all Federation Government Primary schools, students at Wodonga South Primary School will now be returning to onsite learning on Monday October 5th. All students are required to return on this date, unless students have a medical condition and have provided the school with a statement from their doctor. Parents who choose to keep their children at home after this return date will no longer be provided with remote learning work, and the absence will need to be communicated to the school as per normal protocols. Further correspondence will be provided to you towards the end of the holidays regarding any further updates. Thank you again for your support during these times, we look forward to having all our students return on October 5th.
