Girraween Public School is a government-funded, co-educational, comprehensive primary school located in Girraween, New South Wales — a suburb in Sydney’s western corridor, near Pendle Hill and Toongabbie.

The school caters for students from Kindergarten through Year 6, with approximately 1,249 students across 44 classes — 41 regular classes and 3 Support Unit classes — and a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:20.

Girraween Public School

The school is led by Principal Mrs Jodi-Ann Warner, whose vision is a school community built on positive relationships, quality teaching, and high expectations for every child from Kindergarten to Year 6.

A Highly Multicultural Community

One of Girraween Public School’s most distinctive features is its rich cultural diversity. Approximately 90% of students come from a Language Background Other Than English (LBOTE) — reflecting the suburb’s highly multicultural character.

The school runs effective multicultural programmes ensuring every student’s cultural background is respected and valued, with English as an Additional Language/Dialect (EAL/D) support available for students at all stages of English language acquisition.

  • Quality literacy and numeracy programmes (K-6) — measurable outcomes with explicit teaching strategies
  • Gifted and talented programmes — supporting high-achieving students
  • Learning support — for students with learning difficulties and English as a second language
  • Support Unit (3 classes) — supporting students with disabilities as an integral part of the school community
  • Technology — computers in every classroom, well-resourced library
  • Air-conditioned classrooms — providing a comfortable learning environment year-round
  • Student leadership programmes — building responsibility and civic engagement
  • Fair and consistent discipline frameworks — ensuring a safe, inclusive environment

Co-Curricular Activities

  • School bands — a highlight of the school’s performing arts programme
  • Keyboard and choir programmes
  • Dance programme
  • Inter-school sport — competing across a range of sports at zone and district level
  • Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association — highly active, with a high level of parent participation

Aintree Primary School Calendar 2026-2027 – Victoria, Australia

Leave a Comment

Aintree Primary School is a government-funded, co-educational primary school located at 11 Timbertop Parade, Aintree, Victoria 3336 — in the City of Melton, in Melbourne’s rapidly growing western corridor.

The school opened for enrolments in Foundation (Prep) to Year 6 in Term 1, 2021, making it one of Melbourne’s newest purpose-built primary schools. Despite its recent establishment, the school has grown remarkably quickly — with a current enrolment of approximately 1,200 students and continued growth expected over the next four to five years.

Aintree Primary School

The school is led by Principal Simon Cornock and sits on 3.5 hectares of purpose-built grounds, adjacent to a Children and Community Hub that houses a Kindergarten, Maternal and Child Health services, and community facilities — creating a unique integrated early childhood and primary learning precinct that makes the transition from pre-school to primary school seamless for local families.

Part of a Growing School Network

Aintree Primary School belongs to the Brimbank/Melton Network of Schools — a collaborative network of schools in Melbourne’s west including three other new government schools alongside well-established primary, secondary, specialist, P-9, and Senior Secondary schools. This network supports professional learning, resource sharing, and community connection across one of Melbourne’s fastest-growing regions.

International Students

Aintree Primary School is accredited under the Department of Education’s CRICOS registration (CRICOS provider name and code: Department of Education, 00861K), making it eligible to enrol international students. Most international students must apply through the Department of Education for a Victorian government school placement — families can visit study.vic.gov.au for further information.

Curriculum and Learning

Aintree Primary School follows the Victorian Curriculum (Foundation to Year 6), delivering a comprehensive programme across all key learning areas including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, the Arts, Technologies, Health, and Physical Education.

The school’s learning approach reflects contemporary best practice in:

  • Literacy and numeracy — evidence-based, explicit teaching from Foundation year
  • Collaborative and inquiry-based learning — encouraging curiosity and critical thinking
  • Wellbeing integration — social and emotional learning woven throughout the curriculum
  • Digital technologies — preparing students for a digital future
  • Physical education and sport — promoting active, healthy lifestyles

The school also values the relationship between home and school, with strong family engagement embedded in its learning culture.

Children and Community Hub

A genuinely distinctive feature of Aintree Primary School is its co-location with the Children and Community Hub adjacent to the school grounds. The hub houses:

  • Kindergarten — enabling a smooth early childhood to primary transition
  • Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services
  • Community facilities — open to local residents

This integrated model means families with children at different early childhood and primary stages can often access multiple services at one location, reducing travel and supporting community cohesion.

School Tours

Prospective families are warmly encouraged to visit the school before enrolling. School tours run fortnightly on Thursdays at 9:40 am, subject to availability. Tour bookings can be made via the school’s official website at aintreeps.vic.edu.au.

Applecross Primary School Calendar 2026-2027 — Western Australia

Leave a Comment

Applecross Primary School is a government-funded, co-educational primary school located at 65 Kintail Road, Applecross, Western Australia 6153 — a leafy, riverside suburb approximately 9 kilometres south of Perth’s CBD, close to the Swan River. The school caters for students from Kindergarten through Year 6 with approximately 558 students, 35 teaching staff, and a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:16.

Applecross Primary School

Established in 1905, Applecross Primary is one of Western Australia’s oldest primary schools still operating on its original site. Its heritage-listed buildings provide a unique and historic backdrop — a rare combination of 120-year-old architectural character and contemporary learning facilities that few schools in Perth can match. The school’s motto, “Excellence in the Community,” guides everything from classroom practice to community engagement.

The school’s ICSEA score of 1152 — well above the national average of 1000 — reflects the highly educated, professional community it serves, while the school actively maintains its welcoming, inclusive culture for families from diverse backgrounds around the world.

Six Specialist Programmes — A Distinctive Offering

One of Applecross Primary’s most distinctive features is its extensive specialist teaching programme. All students benefit from specialist-taught lessons in:

  • Physical Education — structured PE with specialist staff, including inter-school sports carnivals
  • French — language education from the early years, connecting students to a global language
  • Visual Arts — creative arts with dedicated specialist teaching
  • Drama — building confidence, communication, and creative expression
  • Music — from foundational music education through to ensemble performance
  • Science — specialist-taught science throughout the primary years

This breadth of specialist teaching is unusual for a government primary school of this size — most government primary schools have fewer specialist teachers — and reflects the school’s strong commitment to well-rounded learning.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Programme

From Year 4, students participate in the school’s Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) programme — using personal digital devices as part of everyday classroom learning. This equips students with the digital literacy skills needed for 21st-century learning, with the school guiding appropriate devices and digital citizenship.

Heritage Buildings and Grounds

Applecross Primary School’s heritage-listed buildings are a genuine point of distinction. The school uniquely blends its proud history with a forward-thinking, contemporary learning environment — students connect with the past through beautiful original architecture while learning in modern classroom settings. The school grounds feature tree-lined areas and established gardens typical of the original Applecross residential character.

Parent Communications: Audiri App

The school uses the Audiri School App as its primary parent communication platform — providing push notifications for school news, events, and urgent messages directly to parents’ smartphones. Families are encouraged to download Audiri when enrolling.
