SCHOOL PROFILE - Gisborne Primary School - Excellence in Education

Gisborne Primary School has a current enrolment of 502 pupils with 50 staff. Situated in the picturesque country town of Gisborne, 53km from Melbourne, Gisborne Primary School has been serving its rural community for over 150 years. The school has developed and expanded with the township itself. The school provides a stimulating and safe learning environment for children where they are supported in their pursuit of excellence and in the realisation of their maximum potential.

There is a mixture of modern and historic buildings on the site. They feature well equipped technology areas, library, teacher resource and withdrawal areas, a gymnasium, canteen, visual arts room and adventure playground areas. Our teachers are required to differentiate the curriculum to suit the learning needs of students. Quality planning, teaching and assessment practices are considered high priority at our school.

Students at Gisborne Primary School are encouraged to share their 'voice' in their classes and through the many leadership opportunities offered. Our School Captains lead school events, assemblies and school tours and represent the school at community events such as Anzac Day. Other leadership initiatives include House Captains, Arts, Community & Sustainability/Environment Leadership teams, and two Class Captains lead each classroom.

Our specialist programs include Physical Education, STEM, Music, Visual Art and LOTE & Italian.

Our teachers plan together in teams and use data to inform the direction of teaching and monitor every child's progress. The focus of Professional Development for our staff has resulted in a heightened awareness of the best current teaching practices. A large component of professional development is undertaken in Professional Learning Communities (PLC), which focus on refinements in teaching, data analysis, goal setting and collegiate support. The Leadership Team and teachers regularly participate in Learning Walks and Talks and collegiate visits in classrooms and planning meetings. Gisborne Primary School is a PLC Link school leader and supports teachers and leaders across the state to implement PLC in their schools.

Teachers at Gisborne Primary School are committed to the home/school partnership and value input and support from student and parents. Our School Council sets high expectations for student learning and teaching practices. Our parents are shared partners in student learning; we value their contribution to their child's learning as well as their contribution to the school in whatever capacity they can.

The school's motto is 'Caring' and this is featured as a logo on the school's uniform. The school's values are Respect, Responsibility, Personal Best, Resilience and Caring.

The school's philosophy is based on the belief that every student has the ability to learn and that this occurs best in a safe, happy and positive environment.
