"The country side, the fresh air, the environment and all extra mural activities, but above all the education. I wish I had the money to send my grandchildren there. Well done Woodridge College."

Because at Woodridge, learning is an adventure.
Our pupils learn from experiences as we provide various opportunities to enhance their learning journey. We strive to produce innovative problem-solvers who will positively contribute to society through our small classes, experiential learning and an extensive sporting, cultural, and outdoor educational curriculum. As a result, a solid foundation is laid, creating a lifelong learning mindset in a healthy environment.
