At Warriappendi we are committed to teaching the Child Protection Curriculum, and a Health curriculum that is specific to the needs of our student cohort.
We are also a member of the Safe Schools Anti-bullying Initiative and are committed to creating a learning environment inclusive of LGBTIQ+ diversity that values positive wellbeing. All students are offered annual health checks and those with complex health needs are managed under a case management model where a nurse practitioner oversees their health. Students are supported by Aboriginal health workers with referrals and transport to access doctors and specialists. Additionally, a youth worker offers counselling weekly, or on a needs basis.

Students are also provided with breakfast, recess and lunch each day.

Warriappendi School offers the services of a full time Youth Worker, based on site.

Warriappendi has an active Student Action Team (SAT). The SAT offers students a legitimate voice in how the school works for them. Students have unique expertise and perspectives on learning, teaching, and schooling, and through SAT they have the opportunity to actively shape their own education.

SAT involves students actively participating in their school by contributing to decision making processes and collectively influencing outcomes by putting forward their views, concerns and ideas. SAT not only allows students to engage and participate meaningfully in their own learning, it also contributes to developing 21st century learners by encouraging critical and creative thinking, communication, collaboration, and developing a sense of character and citizenship. Students have applied their learning to fundraising, facility development and event management.

At Meadows Primary we have a strong connection to The Arts Curriculum. Our school choir is involved in the Festival of Music. Our senior students have the opportunity to perform at the Festival Theatre with hundreds of students from across the State. We also perform regularly at school Assemblies and community events.

The senior choir performs at assemblies and community functions. Choir students also have the opportunity to participate in the Festival of Music at the Festival Theatre in Term 3. Students in years 5, 6 & 7 can choose to be involved in the choir.

Warriappendi School offers a daily Reading Program for Year 7-12 students. This promotes a positive reading culture, develops confidence and increases vocabulary. When reading, readers are involved in a complex and recursive process of activating prior knowledge, drawing on a range of strategies continuously and in combination with one another. Reading strategies such as predicting, connecting, comparing, inferring, synthesising, visualising, self questioning, skimming, scanning, importance and summarising are emphasised.
