Approximately 50% of our students are from non-English speaking backgrounds, representing around 24 countries with higher proportions from Middle-Eastern, African and South Pacific regions. St Georges Road Primary School celebrates our rich diversity through the curriculum, specialist programs and events. We are extremely proud of our diverse community which is a huge asset and strength of the school. We believe that the success of each child relies on a strong partnership between staff, students and parents. Our school community is committed to providing a safe, inclusive and engaging environment where learning experiences challenges and supports each student to achieve their potential. The core values that permeate the culture of our school are:
**Respect
- Responsibility
- Learning**
- The teaching and learning program at St Georges Road Primary School is divided into three sections (F-2, 3-4, and 5-6) each overseen by a Learning Specialist who provides their team with planning support, coaching and leadership.

A Response to Intervention Model ensures that all students are screened regularly using normed and standardised assessments to guide enrolment of students into intervention programs out of the classroom, and to enable classroom teachers to effectively provide in-class support to students who require learning adjustments. An education support staff member supports each classroom.

At St Georges Rd Primary School, student wellbeing is considered just as important as academic learning. Our comprehensive wellbeing program incorporates Respectful Relationships, the Berry Street Education Model, and School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support systems. Through these frameworks, we explicitly teach students to identify their emotions and develop strategies to support self-regulation. Staff model positive behaviours to help students build essential life skills.
- Our Wellbeing Hub is staffed by an Assistant Principal, a Lead Teacher, and three Education Support Staff. The Hub provides targeted support for students who are not yet able to fully engage in classroom learning. While in the Hub, students are supported to regulate their emotions and are taught proactive strategies to help them successfully return to and remain in the classroom.
- The Inclusion Hub offers access to a multidisciplinary team including an Occupational Therapist, Speech Therapist, and Play Therapist. Students are timetabled to attend individual or small-group sessions throughout the week, ensuring their developmental and learning needs are supported.

A Before and After School Care program, breakfast club, homework clubs and lunchtime enrichment programs cater for all students. Additional programs that enrich our school community includes a community hub, a visiting paediatrician, play therapy and speech support.
