Schools (Government) VIC – Warrnambool VIC
Allansford and District Primary is a single campus school located in the township of Allansford, eleven kilometres to the east of the regional city of Warrnambool.
Our school provides a safe, purposeful, and stimulating learning environment that is reflected in our school motto - 'Allansford kids are Friendly Kids'.
We have a culture of high expectations for student attendance, connectedness, and learning.
It is our intention to promote our '4 B' values of: Be safe - Be Respectful - Be Responsible - Be a Learner as our Behavioural Framework for all learning and interactions in our community.
In developing a culture that promotes learning, a high priority is given to building and maintaining positive and caring relationships between staff, students, parents, and the wider community.
Staff place a significant emphasis on knowing the students and developing their capacity to best cater for individual student's points of need.
Curriculum provision is ensured through quality learning opportunities in Literacy, Numeracy, Inquiry and complemented with specialist staff.
The culture of Professional Learning Communities is embedded in our practice.
These communities focus on collaboration, understanding our data, talking with students and staff to provide quality instructional practice to promote the growth of students and staff.
In 2025, we plan to operate 7 classrooms, supported by four specialists and a student enrolment in the range of 170.
We have two main priorities in 2025.
Teaching & Learning:In 2025, our focus will be implementing our instructional model for numeracy (Anticipate – Launch Explore – Summarize – Review). We will build on our work in providing challenging numeracy tasks and provide feedback to staff in relation to instructional practice through student shadowing and observations.
We will also be developing our approach to 'Structured Literacy' and refining our Daily Literacy Block for Year F-2 classes & Year 3-6 levels.
Well-Being:In 2025, our focus will be on students enhancing their social and emotional skills to build healthy relationships, resilience, and confidence.
The department's Resilience, Rights and Respectful Relationships program will be the key resource used by staff across the school.
Our Disability Inclusion Coordinator and Mental Health Well-Being Leader will collaborate to best cater for the diverse learning needs of our students.
