Although initially established in 1873 to serve the needs of a largely rural population, the school is now close to a rapidly growing urban area to the east of Mornington. The school makes excellent use of its location near to Port Philip Bay and to sensitive wetland and bushland areas nearby. A collaborative learning community that challenges students to become creative thinkers, independent learners and globally responsible citizens transpires at Osborne. The values of respect, confidence, co-operation, responsibility and resilience guide us in providing a happy, caring and stimulating environment where children will recognise and achieve their fullest potential. The "Play is the Way" social skills program is implemented school wide to enhance our school values and empower our students to pursue their personal best and develop respectful relationships. The Victorian Curriculum underpins teaching programs, which offer a stimulating learning across a broad range of areas. Teaching to suit individual students' learning needs is delivered through programs such as "Point of Need" and ¿CUBES¿ problem solving teaching in Mathematics, "CAFE" reading comprehension programs and 6 + 1 writing traits in Literacy. A combination of both explicit teaching methods and inquiry learning are used throughout the school. Four major concepts - ¿Understanding, Diversity, Creating, and Sustainability¿ are investigated through the inquiry process across the school. The specialist programs include Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education, Problem Solvers, Languages - Indonesian, Science and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Project. The partnership between the school and the home is highly valued at Osborne. Parents and carers are encouraged to be actively involved in the educational progress of their child. The Compass electronic communication system is used at Osborne to ensure families are well informed and connected to our school. Empowering students to take responsibility for their learning is integral to the students achieving their full potential. This is facilitated through opportunities for student voice, student decision making and choice. Our Student Representative Council is an active body in student decision making. At Osborne we optimise the use of the range of school facilities. Highlights are modern junior classrooms, art room, library and administrative blocks, the purpose built kitchen for the Stephanie Alexander Program, the Gymnasium, the Performing Arts Centre and the extensive garden areas of the school. The school makes best use of the ample range of facilities to deliver a comprehensive curriculum and engaging educational opportunities for all students. In 2023, Osborne commemorated 150 years of Excellence in Education with special activities, events and commemorative memorabilia. **Other Information** For more information, please call 0493 991 490 or you can call the office from Tuesday 21st January 03 5975 1792.
