Signature Programs and Opportunities

Wellbeing, Engagement and Belonging Program

Our customised Wellbeing, Engagement, and Belonging (WEB) program plays a central role in supporting students' holistic development from Reception to Year 12.

Tailored Electives

We offer a diverse range of elective subjects created especially for our students, ensuring both breadth and depth in our curriculum.

French Language Activation Program

Walford’s uniquely tailored French program is offered in recognition of the increasing number of students seeking enrolment with a prior background in French Language, either as a second or first language.

Walford's wellbeing dogs were warmly welcomed into our school with much excitement and anticipation following a student suggestion at Walford’s Festival of Ideas.
Our Wellbeing dogs provide numerous emotional, psychological, and social benefits to students. Interacting with dogs can reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood, and create a sense of comfort and safety. Our dogs help foster a positive school environment, encouraging social interactions and improving overall mental health. The staff member-owned dogs have undergone thorough assessments to ensure they are qualified for this special role, demonstrating calmness in crowds, politeness at doorways, and relaxation when patted by staff and students.
