Situated almost 210 kilometres from Melbourne, Wurruk Primary School is located on the western entrance to Sale, close to the Princes Highway in Gippsland, overlooking the Thomson River. The school opened in 1883 and has a current enrolment of 36 students. Staff members include a teaching Principal, two full time teachers and two part time teachers supported by a Business Manager for 2½ days per week and a teacher aide for 8 hours per week. Parents are very supportive and there is a healthy sense of community, all of which contribute to the advantages and special qualities that exist in the life of a small rural school. The School Council is continually working towards improvements in the school facilities, grounds and curriculum provision in order to provide the best learning outcomes possible for students.
