Hazelwood North Primary School is located in the Latrobe Valley, nestled in farmland approximately 6 km from Morwell and 10 km from Traralgon with a current SFOE of 0.4083. A large number of the children at the school come from the Hazelwood North area with other children coming from neighbouring towns. Students are bused or driven by parents to school.

We have recently completed the process of upgrading our school administration building, student toilet block and reinstatement of our basketball court which has been fantastic. This has improved the overall look of the school and has opened up the centre of it to be a hive of activity with students.

Our vision for the school is: At Hazelwood North Primary School we are a community of life-long learners who are inclusive, kind and curious. We are problem solvers who work together with confidence to strive for growth and excellence.

Our values are: We are **respectful**; We are **responsible**; We are **resilient.**

At HNPS we use the Science of Reading and Learning principles to ensure our students are receiving best practice teaching and learning opportunities. In 2024 we offer specialist programs covering Visual Arts, DaVinci (design and technology) and Physical Education. Library is also offered across all year levels.

The school has an amazingly dedicated and enthusiastic Parents & Friends' Club who are the main fundraising body for the school and work hard to support us in buying equipment such as a new BBQ and gazebos, upgrading areas of our yard and supporting events such as our Grade 6 graduation. We have a full and active School Council who supported the school throughout and its development. Our school has an enrolment of 143 students with seven grades.

Classes in all areas received support from Educational Support staff working with students and across programs such as intervention, tutoring and Speech Therapy Assistance. We have 9 EFT teaching staff that included a Leading Teacher - Student Wellbeing and Inclusion (0.6), Learning Specialist, a full-time Business Manager and Principal. We have no Aboriginal or Torres Straight Islander staff at the school.

Our current Strategic Plan Goals are: - To improve learning growth for all students with an emphasis on high achievement. - That all students are engaged in a safe and inclusive learning environment - To support all students to be active agents in their learning - To build school connectedness to the school and engagement with the wider school community
