Ongoing Graduate Teacher - Generalist - Morwell Park Primary School

Location Profile  

Morwell Park Primary School is a school of approximately 335 children, situated in the Latrobe Valley. The school currently has seven year-level flexible learning teams with all teachers working collaboratively within year level teams.  The school's SFO (Student Family Occupation) density is 0.6667.

The school is located on a very attractive setting with recently completed major construction works. In conjunction with the relatively recent BER (Building Education Revolution) building we now have a completely refurbished school including an Early Learning Centre. Morwell Park is affiliated with `Our Place' who support our community.

Morwell Park staff members are very dedicated and there is a strong culture of teamwork and tolerance. The school has strong and supportive parent bodies including School Council and Parent Association. Our students come from diverse backgrounds with numerous support programs in place.

All in all, Morwell Park would seem to be a very challenging, stimulating and rewarding educational setting to be involved with.
