**Location Profile**:
Broadmeadows Primary School offers a unique educational environment where the underlying belief that every student can learn is at the heart of everything we do. We have an enrolment of 260 students and a staff of 21 teachers, 11 Education Support staff and 2 Principal Class members.

Children are guaranteed a smooth transition into primary school with our on site kindergarten. Foundation teachers work closely with the kindergarten to provide an engaging and welcoming transition program into school.

Our students are encouraged to 'Aim High¿ and to do their best. Our values: Kindness, Respect and Learning Together, demonstrate how we provide a caring environment in which children can thrive. Our Learning Behaviours are front and centre of everything we do, and children are taught the strategies to take control of their learning and regulate their behaviour. Our calm and engaging environment ensures students are nurtured and their wellbeing is always monitored and evaluated.

Broadmeadows Primary School has an increasing number of EAL students. New arrivals attend the Collingwood English Language Centre and are supported by an EAL teacher when they transition to mainstream. Our school speech pathologist works with teacher aides to implement a Speech Therapy Assistance Program in Foundation, Year 1 and 2. We have a Language Discovery Program in Foundation to strategically introduce new vocabulary and build language skills. There is a Literacy Learning Intervention Program in Years 1 - 4.

We believe that every student is special and tailor our teaching to identify and maximise their strengths and address areas for development. The school provides a safe learning environment. The use of our emotion walls helps to highlight to both staff and students¿ issues they may have otherwise been unaware of. Students are also conscious of how negative treatment of others impacts not just on individuals, but on the community as a whole.
