At Dandenong West Primary School, our dedicated Wellbeing Team supports both students and families across a wide range of areas, including parenting, housing, and overall wellbeing. The team works closely with families to create opportunities for involvement in school life and in each child’s learning journey. They help coordinate engaging before and after school programs such as Breakfast Club, bike riding, and table tennis, while also facilitating student groups, interventions, and restorative conversations to support positive behaviour and healthy friendships.

On Thursday afternoons, senior students can take part in a youth group designed to encourage positive social connections through games, activities, and teamwork.

When you join Dandenong West Primary School, you become part of a welcoming and supportive community.

Attendance

Regular school attendance supports children in developing strong learning habits, positive social connections, and independence. Frequent absences can impact a child’s progress and learning continuity. However, if your child is unwell, we encourage them to rest and recover at home to help prevent the spread of illness within the school community.
