**Location Profile**:
Sorrento Primary School is the southern-most school on Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, and has served the students of the local area for over150 years on several different sites. Its current setting is in attractive grounds near the centre of the historic Sorrento township. Current enrolment is 266. We are a welcoming, intergenerational community with strong ties to local businesses and organisations.

Our school values are Respect, Integrity, Persistence, Collaboration, Learning and Resilience.

The school¿s guiding principles are to provide a high quality education through a curriculum that has breadth, depth and relevance. The school is strongly committed to empowering children by placing an emphasis on literacy and numeracy and catering to the special needs and abilities of each student. Students are encouraged to think deeply and thinking is made visible via the Design Thinking (No Tosh) approach.

Multi-age classrooms are used from year 1-6. Multi-age classes are restricted to two year levels. A teamwork approach to curriculum planning promotes consistency of delivery throughout the entire school.

Students are encouraged to become more self-aware as learners through developing an understanding of the Characteristics of an Effective Learner. They work, with their peers and teachers to develop these characteristics and to appreciate that they can continually improve these habits. Sorrento PS's characteristics are: Creative, Self-Motivated, A Challenge Mindset, Reflective, Resilient and Persevere.

There is a whole school approach to student wellbeing and management, with all staff taking on a shared responsibility for all students. A Restorative Practice approach is used to assist students to resolve issues and restore relationships. Respectful Relationships is taught across the school and regular Circle Time takes place. Students are supported to regulate their behaviour by gaining an understanding of the Zones of Regulation and by developing a toolkit of resources to draw upon.

A whole school buddy program is in place and interested senior students are trained as Peacemakers; they assist younger students to solve minor playground issues.

The school has grounds for sport and recreation as well as a heated swimming pool. Families and community members are always made welcome in the school, with volunteers being a vital aspect of the daily life.
