Location Profile  

Barrawang Primary School acknowledges the Wurundjeri people as the traditional custodians of the land on which we live and stand on today. We are privileged that our school is located on this sacred ground and are grateful that the Wurundjeri people have cared for the land, waters and soil for thousands of years. We pay our respect to all Elders past, present and emerging.

Barrawang Primary School is an exciting new school located in Wollert that opened in January 2023.  

Barrawang Primary School is a supported inclusion school, which is a mainstream school with additional professional capabilities and facilities designed to cater for a higher than usual proportion of students with a disability.

Our school prides itself on our commitment towards inclusive education and an undertaking to provide differentiated learning programs, which are designed to cater to each individual child¿s point of need. Our school philosophy is based on the belief that all students have the ability to achieve their full potential within a culture of collaboration, shared responsibility and high expectations.

Values

Barrawang Primary School¿s values are R.E.A.C.H  

Resilience- we can bounce back from challenges    

Excellence- we aim high and persevere, we ensure that every individual has an equal opportunity to reach their full potential 

Acceptance- we respect and value all members of our community, embracing with dignity their talents, beliefs, backgrounds, and ways of living 

Curiosity- we question and explore the new, unusual, and interesting to better understand the world around us

Teaching and Learning

Our instructional framework at Barrawang Primary School is informed by the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model and is framed around the Workshop Model which is a structured evidenced-based approach for teaching and learning. 

The Instructional Model is

• aligned with the Victorian teaching and learning model that incorporates the vision for learning, practice principles and HITS 
• focused on teacher practice as the main contributor to improved student learning outcomes
• improvement-focused to assist teachers with their professional learning, including designing their PD goals
• adaptive and can be modified to fit subject contexts
• implemented together with the practice principles, the pedagogical model enables teachers to maintain a line of sight between their own professional development and school-wide improvement based on FISO.

A focus on Creative art (Visual, Performing, Music, Dance and Media), STEM and Physical Education is integral to the additional learning which will be provided for our students.  

A positive nurturing environment which cares for each student and adult, matters. It impacts on our behaviour, our academic success and future mental and physical health. There is an expectation that all community members of our school behave in ways that build a positive and vibrant school culture that focuses on wellness and learning.  We use the School Wide Positive Behaviour Support framework to drive our approach to positive education.
