Why families choose us
Starting strong: Supporting Key Transitions
At our school, we understand that transitions are pivotal moments in every child’s learning journey. Whether it’s the excitement of starting Kindergarten, the move to high school, or the move between grade levels, we work closely with students and families to ensure every transition is smooth, supportive, and sets students up for success.
Supporting Every Student, Partnering with Every Family
At our school, we believe that every child learns best when families and educators work in partnership. Through open communication and collaboration, we co-design Personalised Learning and Support Plans (PLaSPs) and Personalised Learning Pathways (PLPs) that reflect each student’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. Whether a child requires additional support, enrichment opportunities, or simply a tailored approach to learning, we ensure they are understood, valued, and empowered to succeed.
High quality education
We provide our students with a diverse range of subjects and opportunities, enabling them to develop essential skills, explore their interests, and ignite their passions.
Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL)
We implement the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework to support and empower our students in making positive behaviour choices. This approach fosters a respectful and inclusive learning environment where every student can thrive.
"I love that our school is welcoming and inclusive and that our principal knows my children and stops to have a chat to parents in the playground at pick up or school drop off. I love that they see my child's individual potential and reward him appropriately for his efforts.” — a parent of Wattle Grove Public School
