Department of Education - Victoria

Poowong Consolidated School was opened in 1958 after consolidating local outlying schools within the area.  Poowong CS is committed to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment which allows all children to be challenged, guided and engaged in their learning. As a learning community, Poowong CS aspires for all children to develop a love of learning and knowledge under the school motto ¿At PSC I grow, so we can!¿

Poowong Consolidated School is a school of approximately 100 students located on the edge of the Poowong township in the heart of South Gippsland.  The school is housed in attractive and well-maintained grounds and buildings.  We cater to students from Prep to Grade 6 in mixed-age grades and currently include music, visual arts, science, physical and health education and a variety of sporting programs into our curriculum.  Our students are encouraged to challenge themselves both academically and personally in all aspects of school life. 

Staffing includes the principal supported by a leading teacher and a business manager.  An administration officer, 5 classroom teachers, 2 specialist teachers and 4 classroom aides.  We currently employ a chaplain to support with wellbeing and engagement for students 2 days per week. 

The school is organised into Professional Learning Communities, junior and senior school. The Victorian Curriculum is implemented across all levels. The school has a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy, and includes Science, the Arts and PE as significant priorities in the curriculum.  We promote student voice and agency allowing for the development of skills and capabilities amongst our young leaders.  Both teaching and non-teaching staff are supported professionally through regular, targeted professional learning opportunities.  

Poowong Consolidated School is a great place to work.  The school has a fantastic staff culture and an amazing student population.  Don't miss the opportunity to work with PCS.
