Wallan Primary School has served the community for more than 160 years. Our aim is to provide a safe, positive and inclusive learning environment in which all learners strive for their personal best and experience a sense of achievement. In our school community, students, families and staff demonstrate acceptance and connectedness.

The school's motto of 'Working Together for a Better Future' sums up our values of Getting Along, Organisation, Persistence, Confidence and Resilience which support our students' social and emotional learning. To further build a school wide culture that reflects our values the school has established a "team building" program that operates in all year levels. The teaching staff pride themselves on building positive relationships with the students they teach.

Wallan Primary School provides a comprehensive curriculum with literacy and numeracy being the key focus areas. Each student is catered for by a differentiated curriculum model, where their targeted to their individual point of learning. With an average enrolment of 600 students, the school operates single year level classrooms.

The students produce outstanding artwork that is proudly displayed throughout the school and many pieces of art are entered in the Whittlesea show.  All students participate in specialist physical education, visual arts and digital technology lessons weekly and a specialised Indonesian program each semester. Student leadership is strong with an active student leadership group. School assemblies are led by the two school captains and our two vice captains fortnightly. Over a period of years the school facilities and grounds have undergone extensive refurbishment and development to ensure that our students have a safe and engaging environment to play in.
