Department of Education - Victoria

Nestled within the innovative Warracknabeal Education Precinct, Warracknabeal Primary School enjoys state-of-the-art facilities shared with the Secondary College and Special Developmental School. This collaborative environment fosters a unique and supportive learning community for all students.

Our school features 5 composite classes, offering a dynamic and engaging learning experience tailored to meet diverse student needs. We take pride in our specialist subjects, which include Physical Education (PE), Visual Arts, Music, and Japanese (LOTE), ensuring a well-rounded education that nurtures various talents and interests.

At the heart of our curriculum is a structured Literacy Block, designed around evidence-based practices to promote comprehensive literacy skills. This approach integrates phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, providing students with a solid foundation in reading and writing.

In Mathematics, we embrace a balanced approach that combines conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, and problem-solving skills. This methodology helps students develop a deep and lasting understanding of mathematical concepts, enabling them to apply their knowledge in real-world contexts.

Our behaviour support structures are underpinned by the Berry Street Education Model, which emphasises the importance of building strong relationships, promoting resilience, and creating a positive school culture. This model aligns with our commitment to student well-being and academic success.

Warracknabeal Primary School is guided by the values of Excellence, Attitude, Gratitude, Leadership, Empathy, and Spirit. These values shape our school culture and inspire our students to strive for their best in all endeavours. Our school expectations, 'We are safe, we are respectful, we are kind, and we are ready to learn', provide a clear framework for behaviour, ensuring a supportive and productive learning environment for everyone.

With a dedicated team of educators and a vibrant community, Warracknabeal Primary School is committed to nurturing every student's potential and preparing them for a bright future.
