The school operates with sixteen classes, thirteen mainstream classes and three special education classes. One of these classes has been funded through the PSFP staffing supplementation.
The average age of staff at Wyoming Public School is 37 years.
A couple of staff members have been sport coordinators either at Wyoming Public School or at a previous school. Several staff members are active outside school hours, playing sports and generally keeping fit. Some have furthered their skills by becoming certificated coaches and referees in a variety of sports. For example, Touch Football, Basketball and Netball.
