Wooodend Primary School House Mascots

At Woodend Primary School, we are proud of our Houses which acknowledge our local history and Indigenous links. Each House is represented by a local animal and is named in the Dja Dja Wurrung language for that animal. Our Houses have been running since 1978 and are part of the foundation of the school.
