Small School. Big Opportunities.
About the school
Whitton-Murrami Public School is a small rural institution located between Leeton and Griffith in the Riverina, accommodating approximately 30 students. The school emphasises core values of integrity, excellence, responsibility, and respect, encouraging students to reflect these principles in their family and social lives. With a commitment to student welfare, the school has an effective peer-support program that underpins its approach to learning. This balanced environment promotes both academic and sporting achievements, exemplified by the school's involvement in athletics, swimming, a whole-school choir, and the Leeton community of schools' 'Shine' performance.
Learning Environment
The school provides personalised learning experiences, where small class sizes allow teachers to offer individual support tailored to each student's needs. The curriculum is designed to engage students and includes innovative programs such as healthy eating, horticulture, and a Kitchen Garden initiative. The school fosters strong relationships among staff, students, and families, creating a collaborative and inclusive educational setting.
Community Involvement
Community support plays a significant role in the school's operations and growth. Parents actively participate in various learning initiatives, helping to build links between the school and the wider community. This engagement contributes to a vibrant learning atmosphere, where students are nurtured to achieve their full potential in both academic and extracurricular activities.
