Together we excel

Wyndham Central College was recognised for providing students with opportunities to participate in a diverse range of activities through strong connections to local sporting groups.

There are many people who have been involved in the school achieving this award, from staff who supervise the program, those who work with the community groups, office and admin. Well done WCC!
