Graduate Teacher Program - Boneo Primary School

Location Profile  

Boneo Primary School is a vibrant, community school nestled in the heart of the market garden belt on the Mornington Peninsula approximately 82 km from the Melbourne CBD. The school was founded in 1873 and moved to the current location in 1921. The school has a strong reputation on the Mornington Peninsula and celebrated 150 years of Excellence in Education in 2023. Each year level explored an era of the 150 years and shared their Unit of Inquiry findings through an exhibition held in May where the entire community came together to celebrate the schools rich history.

Our three school RED values underpin all our actions.

Respect - In everything we do, we recognise the worth, quality, and importance of others, regardless of their differences.

Empathy - In everything we do, we will seek to understand another person's situation, feelings, and motives.

Determination - In everything we do, we understand that achieving our personal goals will take time and effort.

A total of 369 students were enrolled at Boneo Primary School in 2023, 178 females and 191 males. 1 percent of students had English as an additional language and 4 percent identified as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. Due to the geographic location students are driven to school each day with a small number of families able to make use of the Cape Schanck bus accessed through our local secondary school. We have a connected community that works tirelessly to support the school through participation in events each term. We have strong ties with the local Boneo Cricket and Tennis Clubs, jointly running the monthly Boneo Community Market. There is a strong collaborative culture among staff, with a willingness to share practice, reflect and participate in focused professional dialogue about effective teaching and learning through a strong PLC structure. The workforce composition for 2023 was 2 Principal class, 24 teaching staff and ES at 9.84 FTE.
