Location Profile
Beveridge Primary School is a multi-campus school located on the Northern Fringe of Melbourne. From 2026 the campus composition is as follows: Arrowsmith Junior Campus - Foundation & Grade 1 and the Ambrosia Senior Campus - Grade 2 to 6. Beveridge is in the northern growth corridor and it is expected that our school will continue to see significant growth over the next 5 years. Beveridge PS aims to be a secure welcoming and engaging community. We value enquiring minds and encourage the best in all. These values underpin our disciplinary framework that 'Everybody has the right to feel safe and comfortable and everybody has the right to learn¿. We believe that it is the job of every adult who our students encounter to model these beliefs all day, every day. Our community is committed to nurturing active and caring Australian citizens who support intercultural understanding and can acknowledge and value alternative points of view.
The staff, parents and community of Beveridge Primary are committed to developing the social, emotional and academic needs of our students by promoting resilience, persistence and courage. We motivate each child to strive to achieve their full potential and take risks in an environment which is safe, supporting and nurturing. We have strong parental and community involvement throughout the school which supports our rich curriculum.
The teaching of literacy and numeracy is underpinned by a whole school consistent approach. Our teachers differentiate the curriculum to individualise the learning needs of our students. The Schools planning and assessment practices are a high priority and are used to drive curriculum planning and delivery and are used to track student progress. Our curriculum also offers music, an annual whole school production, fine arts, physical education and Auslan (LOTE) and our wellbeing program includes a literacy intervention and extension program, a numeracy intervention and extension program and a wellbeing coordinator to support students, their families and teachers to enable all to achieve their potential.
