Parkmore Primary School

At Parkmore primary School, we aim to be an outstanding centre of learning, developing self-reliant students in an innovative and vibrant learning environment. We strive to ensure all our students have a strong sense of self and community whilst striving for excellence.

Parkmore Primary School is a proud and well-established government school which dates back to 1962. It is located in the City of Whitehorse, in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne. The school is situated in Forest Hill with most of our students drawn from the local area and surrounding suburbs.

Our prep program is centred around a culture of kindness, open communication and a strong pedagogical knowledge of teaching early years literacy and numeracy. Our early years teachers provide our students with many opportunities to learn the routines and structures of school in the classroom while still catering to their needs by nurturing them and respecting each of their individual personalities.

We understand that all children come to us with differing emotional and academic capacities, and it is our job as educators to meet those needs. At every stage of learning and in every year group through to year 6 all our students are provided with a rich and differentiated curriculum meeting and extending their learning needs to ensure they reach their true potential.

While we are a proud and small school, there are many big things happening at Parkmore Primary School, and many changes have taken place across the last 12 months that have served to improve the way we teach, engage our students, and instil a positive school climate. At Parkmore Primary School all our conversations as staff are centred around the student. What can we do to ensure wellbeing and improved student outcomes? Every conversation we have as colleagues begins with a positive intention to use evidence-based practices to improve our teaching and learning program. Our students deserve our best efforts and for this to occur our teachers work via an improvement cycle that allows them to reflect on their students learning and wellbeing to ensure we are providing them a program that is both engaging and targeting their needs.

We extend an invitation to you to come and meet our team and see our classrooms in action. I am confident that you will see high functioning classrooms and engaged students who know they are a part of a community that cares for them and their education a great deal. Evidence through our NAPLAN student achievement data has ranked Parkmore Primary School as a school with students achieving well above State averages in both Literacy and Numeracy.
