SCHOOL PROFILE
Casterton Primary School is located in the pretty township of Casterton in the Western District of Victoria (South West Region) well known for its red flowering gums and the Kelpie Festival. Casterton is a historic rural community, 356 kms west of Melbourne, an hour west of the Grampians National Park and 45 minutes east of the wine-growing region of the Coonawarra. The school was originally established in 1857 and grew with the development of the town and its rural industries. The school population is currently about 110 students drawn from the town and surrounding farming community. The primary school is centrally located within the town and provides a range of well-maintained facilities. The school is set in spacious grounds with mostly brick buildings, having undergone a major refurbishment this year. There are three large teaching blocks, an administration/staff area, art room and hall/gymnasium. An additional teaching block has undergone significant refurbishment and contains a large multi purpose area with kitchen and servery for our Stephanie Alexander program, a new library area with research stations and technology for 24 students at a time, a large conference area and a smaller meeting space. The school has established whole school approaches to teaching English and mathematics and has developed instructional models and scope and sequence documents to support consistency across the school. We use Sounds Write, The Big 6 of Reading, and Dibels Assessments to support differentiated teaching in English. Data sources in numeracy include PAT, Maths Online Interview and the new Digital Assessment Library. Specialist programs offered are Music, Indonesian, Art and Physical Education and the school is embedding the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program across all year levels. The school¿s values are "respect, kindness and excellence¿ and these are central to the school¿s focus for student wellbeing and engagement, along side Play is the Way.
