Wahgunyah Primary School is a small school in North-East Victoria located on the Murray River. It is a beautiful place to live and is close to the Rutherglen wine region and the regional cities of Albury, Wodonga and Wangaratta. The school first received the number 644 in 1863 under the newly established Board of Education's Common School System. In 1878, a new school building was erected on the current site which still stands today.
The school is comprised of the original school building, which has recently been renovated. It includes a library, kitchen/breakfast club and our 3/4 classroom. The remaining four classrooms are in our BER building which was built in 2011. The office is in a separate building which houses the general office, principal's office and staffroom. The grounds include a small synthetic turf oval, basketball court, two modular playgrounds, monkey bars, a mud kitchen, sandpit, and vegetable garden.
