Multicultural Parent Groups

Woodville High School is multi-ethnic, multi-religious and multicultural. We view this as one of our greatest strengths and it defines and unites who we are as a school and as a community. At Our Woodville, we have 91 different cultures represented that we are incredible proud of.

We proudly have 91 different cultures represented out our school

Our responsibility as a school is to provide support and information to all of our families so that we can build a vibrant and collaborative community. We want to partner with families so that we can collaboratively support our students to learn and achieve.

We have formed seven different Multicultural Family Groups so that we can give our parents/caregivers from different cultural groups an opportunity to communicate, share information, and to have a voice in some of the school’s decision-making processes. These voices feed into the Governing Council to support whole school decision making.

The list of Cultural Family Groups is as following:

  • Aboriginal & Torres strait Islander
  • African
  • European
  • Middle Eastern
  • Indian
  • Syrian
  • Vietnamese

Research shows, young people’s wellbeing and capacity to achieve their potential are increased when families, schools and communities work together in productive partnerships.

Our Future. Our Place. Our Woodville.
