Classroom Teacher - Student Wellbeing and Support
Department of Education Victoria – Pyrenees VIC
8d ago, from Department of Education & Training Victoria
Landsborough Primary School is located at the foothills of the Pyrenees Ranges. It is part of the innovative and progressive Pyrenees Cluster which comprises six small rural schools (Landsborough, Moonambel, Navarre, Natte Yallock, Amphitheatre, Trawalla).
The school's core focus is to encourage students to become independent, lifelong learners. We achieve this by creating a learning environment where our students can become risk‑takers, independent learners and socially‑aware members of the community. Landsborough Primary School has a range of learning programs and resources to support student growth.
Overview
We offer a mobile library van (MARC) that visits fortnightly, an AUSLAN program in the Language curriculum, a weekly kitchen garden, and Full Steam Ahead cluster days that provide opportunities to interact with students from other cluster schools in specialist areas such as Art, PE, Music, and Digital Technologies. Additional activities include camps, excursions, and incursions.
The school has one classroom for its 10 students (three in Foundation, one in Grade 1, two in Grade 3, two in Grade 4, one in Grade 5 and one in Grade 6) and many extracurricular activities such as Cluster Days, a Swim program, local excursions, concerts, and sport. The school also uses one‑to‑one computers, iPads, and video‑conferencing to enhance learning.
