Department of Education - Victoria

Arnolds Creek Primary School opened its doors to students in Grade Prep to Grade 6 at the start of 2015.  The school is located in the City of Melton and has been built in response to the rapidly developing local area.  It is located at 59 Claret Ash Blvd, Melton West (in the Arnolds Creek Estate).

 

The educational purpose of our school is to focus on the following: 

 

- Building a sense of community within the school

- Supporting the development of skills and attributes for lifelong learning

- Inspiring aspiration amongst the young people of the area

- Providing young people with a range of experiences which can support the development of social capital in the local community

- Instilling a sense of belonging, engagement and identity amongst students.

 

The learning and teaching approach will focus on a differentiated approach for all, and the provision of learning experiences which cater for the individual students within each home group.  The curriculum, whilst integrated, and with support from a range of specialist teachers, will have a strong focus on the excellent teaching of literacy and numeracy with programs that help to ensure each child is reaching their potential.

 

The design of the school will include two sub schools, one junior and one senior and they will have an individual identity and dedicated learning areas extending from inside to outside. Specialist spaces will include - physical education, performing and visual arts, science, and a resource facility.  The school will have a strong focus on student well-being, which will foster a safe and secure environment for all members of the school community.
