**Location Profile**:
Canterbury Primary School is 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, agency and leadership. We aim to engage students through authentic, relevant, and contextualised learning experiences. Students from Prep to Year 6 have a say in what they learn, how they learn and how they will be assessed. Teachers are skilled in planning learning experiences that engage students through their own interests, while still addressing student needs, skills, dispositions and relevant curriculum standards. We believe that learning requires purpose, context, and audience.

The values of respect, responsibility, integrity and resilience guide the decisions and behaviours of all members of our school community, and our learner dispositions (curiosity, creativity, self-efficacy, self-regulation, resilience and collaboration), provide all community members with a shared language of learning, outlining the characteristics or attitudes that we aim to foster in all learners.

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). Learning communities are created in each centre with students and teachers working and learning together.

Specialist programs are offered in Visual Arts, Music, Physical Education and Chinese Mandarin language.

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.
