Ongoing Graduate Teacher - Generalist Primary Teacher - Hallam Primary School

Location Profile  

Hallam Primary School provides an inclusive and supportive learning environment. The school ensures a safe and orderly learning and teaching environment, implements school-based wellbeing support that incorporates fair and equitable student management processes, establishes effective curriculum, assessment and reporting procedures and has high expectations that all students¿ can learn and be successful.

Staff work collaboratively and take collective responsibility for students' learning and wellbeing. This is consistent from Foundation, where many students enter the school developmentally vulnerable and make progressive gains through to Year 6. These gains are achieved through a structured learning environment that balances explicit teaching with inquiry, and provides a variety of programs and experiences to engage students¿ interests and enrich students' learning.

Programs in Science-Technology (Science, Coding, Robotics, VR), Physical Education, Visual Arts, Performance Arts and LOTE (Auslan) are provided, and students are offered participation in a range of extra-curricular experiences such as the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden, camps and excursions.

Hallam Primary School is situated within one of the most culturally diverse communities in the City of Casey. Nearly forty languages other than English are spoken within the school community. Hallam Primary School continues to promote its values of learning for success, persistence, positive partnerships, mutual respect, trust and environmental awareness as key components of school planning and development.
