Lake Boga Primary is a small government school in Lake Boga; a town of about 1000 people, 15 kms from the regional centre of Swan Hill and nestled around the lake. We are approximately 320km from Melbourne. Broad acre and irrigation farming surround the town.
A relatively stable enrolment of around 60-70 students occurs each year. The school has 7.9 equivalent full time staff, including 1.0 principal, 4.4 teaching staff and 2.6 Education Support. We also have a chaplain supporting two days per week. As the Service Provider Lake Boga Preschool, we are an educational precinct, running Three & Four Year Old Kindergarten programs and primary education for students in Foundation to Grade 6. We also run an Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC).
The School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) approach supports our students to be Safe, Respectful, Responsible Learners.
The rural atmosphere, smaller student numbers and community involvement contribute to a relaxed and friendly learning environment in which students at all levels are able to receive individual attention and in which cross age interaction and leadership qualities are facilitated and develop freely. In recent times we have worked to develop more collaboration and consistency of teaching practices. This continues to be a focus with assessment and data, along with curriculum planning being an important part of our improvement agenda.
