OUR VISION: _Inspiring a passion for learning and personal excellence while preparing students to become globally responsible citizens._

As an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School authorised to teach the Primary Years Programme (PYP), we aim to develop internationally-minded students equipped for a globally connected future. Our students collaboratively create class Essential Agreements that promote a positive and vibrant learning culture. Reflective personal development is a key aspect of our curriculum, especially through our inquiry-based approach that fosters conceptual understanding and encourages students to take meaningful action.

**Curriculum and Learning**

Through an inquiry-driven, concept-based curriculum, students learn critical thinking, social, communication, self-management, and research skills. Our students develop skills in self-management of their learning, developing social and emotional skills essential for becoming well-rounded individuals. The IB PYP Learner Profile Attributes are woven within everything we do, to ensure they are developed in each child during their years in the programme.

We offer a range of activities in sports, visual arts, performing arts, ICT, French, choir, instrumental music/singing, Children¿s University, school productions and lunch clubs. Our Student Representative Council further cultivates leadership and citizenship qualities, encouraging lifelong connection to community and an ability and desire to make a difference.

**Community and Facilities**

Mornington Primary has been an integral part of the community for nearly 150 years. Located near Mornington's central business district, our students engage with their local environment through inquiry units and walking excursions to key landmarks, natural environments, businesses and community organisations.

The locals refer to the school as '_Vale Street'_ and many generations from the same families have attended the school over the years, both as students and staff. The administration building is the original 1878 building and the facade is well known in the area. In 2018, we opened a modern facility with flexible learning spaces, break-out areas, and indoor/outdoor spaces for cooking, art, and collaborative learning. Our school serves around 450 students in 20 classes across Prep, Junior (1-2), Middle (3-4), and Senior (5-6) teams, with specialist programs in STEAM, Performing Arts, PE, and French.

With a focus on continuous improvement, we are committed to providing a comprehensive and dynamic education for every student.
