From the Wellfield Methodist and Anglican Church School
I'd like to extend a warm welcome to you to our website and to our school on behalf of the faculty, students, and governors of Wellfield Methodist & Anglican Church Primary School.
The welfare of our students is put first in all we do and in every choice we make at Wellfield Church Primary.
As headmaster, I'm honoured to work with a staff that is committed to giving our students engaging, innovative, and relevant learning opportunities that will increase their excitement for learning and support their good development in a variety of ways.
Our goal for the Wellfield students is for them to grow up to be self-assured, autonomous young adults who like the intellectual challenges of learning and are inspired to attempt new things by our innovative, individually planned curriculum.
Numerous after-school organisations, community events, and frequent field trips and visits to other locations further expand the opportunities offered at our school.
Our school's mission statement, "Learning and growing together through Faith, Hope, and Love," is mirrored in its daily operations.
We are lucky to have a very active parent organisation called the "Friends of Wellfield Church School" that plans a variety of fun fundraising activities all through the academic year.
We strongly urge you to stop by, see us in action, and get to know our lovely staff and kids firsthand.
