Location Profile Mildura West Primary is an exciting school. Our students really do have an active role in their education. Parent participation is promoted through regular communication and an open door policy. Teachers, parents/carers and students work together to ensure a quality education is provided for all. Resilience, Respect, Excellence and Pride are the school values which are truly kept alive each day.
Our school, established in 1922, is one of the largest state primary schools in the Mildura Rural City Council. We have approximately 460 students, with many nations represented. We celebrate our diversity and the richness it brings to our school community.
Mildura West teachers are always learning because they want to be the very best teachers possible. They read professionally and every week they collaborate in highly effective Professional Learning Teams. They learn with and from each other, engaging in regular classroom observation, giving and receiving feedback. They plan together, ensuring the curriculum is robust and differentiated.
Our School is very proud to be part of the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program. The IB aspires to help schools develop well-rounded students with character who respond to challenges with optimism and an open mind, are confident in their own identities, make ethical decisions, join others in celebrating our common humanity and are prepared to apply what they learn in real-world, complex and unpredictable situations.
We focus on the core areas of literacy and numeracy but we also equip our students for the 21st century. We do so by teaching our students to understand themselves as learners. They learn what effective learners do and how to manage their own learning. Our students learn to collaborate, to work independently and to be critical thinkers. They are also taught to be ethical, critical users of ICT (Information and Communications Technology). Children in grades three to six use iPads to enhance their learning.
