A focus on Digital Learning, The Arts (Visual and Performing), STEM and Physical Education is integral to the additional learning provided for our students. Students have access to the latest technologies; including iPads.
Teams of teachers are given time to work and learn together focused on student data and high impact teaching strategies during weekly Professional Learning Community cycles of inquiry. The focus on professional knowledge and practice through feedback and goal setting during the performance and development process ensures all members of staff are continually growing and learning. We have a range of expert, accomplished and graduate teachers who deliver a challenging and stimulating curriculum.
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. 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.
Learning Spaces
The school includes an administration building, two learning neighbourhoods (19 classrooms), a gymnasium complex, outdoor courts and sports fields. Inside the administration building houses a large library, first aid facilities, visual arts space, space for science/ technology and food technology space,titled the ‘Culinary Haven’.
There is enough room to accommodate between 480- 520 students in these buildings. The site has also been planned to accommodate a peak enrolment larger than 525 and have allowed for portables to be onsite without compromising any dedicated play spaces.
The gymnasium complex includes a stadium quality basketball/ netball sized gymnasium with tiered seating, an outstanding music facility which doubles as a stage for the gymnasium. There is also a canteen and change room facilities and an extensive foyer. It is anticipated that these facilities will be utilised for community usage including a shared arrangement with local sporting clubs to ensure sport can be accessed onsite after school.
Teaching spaces at Garrang Wilam Primary School allow learning communities to teach in a variety of ways to ensure peer to peer student and adult learning, as well as a high level of student voice and agency. Spaces have been designed to ensure a mix of explicit, collaborative and independent learning opportunities occur on a daily basis. Some spaces are built fit for purpose; for example the storytelling and presentation area, where others are flexible in design to meet the needs of the inhabitants.
The extensive outdoor spaces include hard courts, full sized grassed football oval, outdoor stage, nature play with a dry creek bed, agility playground and an extensive carpark.
Our community will develop over time through shared experiences and an aligned focus on what matters; learning.
