**Location Profile**:
Magpie Gully PS No 415 was established in 1857 and re-named as Magpie PS No 2271 in 1892. The historic red brick building was completed in May 1880 and from 1986 classrooms were entirely comprised of relocatable buildings. In May 2011 the school was almost completely refurbished with new classrooms, new toilets and completion of the upgrade to the 131 year old administration building. This time marks a renewal of the school and a significant opportunity for the broader Magpie community to be served by a modern school that caters for the latest innovations in pedagogical approaches that foster independent student learning. The open design will allow all children to become intrinsically aware of how they will become lifelong learners in the Twenty-first Century. The structure and design of the expansive grounds is enhanced by the outdoor learning options using a variety of courtyards and specialised environments.

The school has established a strong staff team that has developed a reputation for a positive approach to working with students and is reaping the benefit of strong connections between parents, students and the school. Attitudes to the school register high in most data sets and student learning outcomes are solid but show a clear need for improvement in some key learning areas.

The emphasis of Magpie Primary School will be clearly on student learning outcomes in the period of this Strategic Plan. The community has declared a focus for the school to be on core curriculum areas with additional emphasis building student agency and consistency in all practices across the school.

The school has a positive school approach which focuses on the recognition of positive learning and behaviour. This approach has led to a feeling of wellbeing and connections to the school community. We have strong connections to external services and aim to provide holistic support to our students and families.
