Teacher Grad Recruit Program - Wyndham Vale Primary School
Location Profile
Established in 2015, Wyndham Vale Primary School is located in the Bluestone Estate in the city of Wyndham, west of Melbourne and behind the Werribee Racecourse. Our community is diverse in its socio-economic and cultural backgrounds with approximately 60 different languages spoken by the families of students who attend here. The school has experienced rapid growth in these initial years of operation and current enrolments sits at 1140.
Our school has a number of best practice agreements that we expect all staff to embrace. These school wide approaches ensure consistency across classrooms and assist us in the achievement of our vision statement of 'High Levels of Achievement for All Students'. All teaching staff are active participants in high function Professional Learning Communities (PLC) and student voice has a strong focus in our nest strategic plan.
Students learn within their own classroom, with their own homeroom teacher for most lessons, although staff are expected to have a collective responsibility for all students across the cohort through the work done in their PLC. Differentiation is a key feature of work we do, and all programs are framed around a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy.
Our school prides itself on the excellent facilities, both indoor and outdoor to support high expectations and student learning. Curriculum Support programs operate in Physical Education, The Arts, and LOTE, with Auslan as the language that is taught in our school. ICY is embedded across al learning areas. Learning spaces include a full-sized oval and large gym and outdoor hard courts and sandpits, extensive play equipment, native gardens, areas turfed with both real and synthetic grass, classrooms with the main and several relocatable buildings, along with a library, performing and visual arts spaces. Before and After School Care runs every day the school is in operation.
WVPS has a strong presence and positive reputation with the local community, and welcome applicants who would continue to enhance our work towards achieving the best outcomes for students.
