**Location Profile**:
Canterbury Primary School aims to create a passionate learning community that inspires, challenges and supports all students to achieve their personal best and make a positive contribution to the world in which they live. The school has a strong student-centred learning approach with an emphasis on student voice and agency, and genuine, contextualised learning opportunities. The values of respect, responsibility, integrity and resilience guide the decisions and behaviours of all members of our school community. The school has a student population of just over 600 and is located in the leafy eastern suburbs approximately nine kilometres from the Melbourne CBD.

The school has a highly collaborative team culture with teaching teams in four distinct Learning Centres: Discovery (Foundation), Creativity (Years 1 & 2), Innovation (Years 3 & 4) and Leadership (Years 5 & 6). Strong learning communities are created in each centre with students and teachers working and learning together. Students are zoned in flexible groups within each Learning Centre according to their learning needs for numeracy and aspects of literacy.

Specialist literacy, numeracy and English as an Additional Language (EAL) teachers provide additional learning support and targeted intervention within each Learning Centre. Digital technologies are embedded into all learning. As a partner school in the New Pedagogies for Deep Learning global project,
the school has developed strong learning programs with an emphasis on genuine student voice and contextualized learning. Coding, problem solving and a well-developed ‘Maker culture’ support high levels of autonomy and choice in learning. Extra-curricular lunchtime activities include coding, yoga, woodwork construction and chess club.

Specialist programs are offered in Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education, Chinese Mandarin language and Health. A well-developed partnership with a school in Suzhou, China enhances language learning, enriching and broadening cultural understandings through shared projects and reciprocal visits.

Canterbury Primary School is committed to developing effective partnerships between staff, students, parents and community groups. Parental involvement in the school is high and creates a strong sense of community.

Transition programs are well established with local pre-school and government secondary schools. Students are involved in a series of activities throughout the year to ensure a smooth transition the following year.

Victorian government schools are child safe environments. Canterbury Primary School’s Child Safety Statement of Commitment and Code of Conduct can be found on the School’s website.
