School Background
Edgars Creek Primary School is currently in its fifth year of operation, located at 45 Macedon Parade, Wollert, in the City of Whittlesea. This area is part of the northern growth corridor of Melbourne, with major housing development present. The school opened in Term 1, 2021 providing in excess of 800 students from Prep (Foundation) to Year 6.
Edgars Creek Primary School is part of a community precinct. It is adjacent to the Ganbu Gulinj Community Centre and Edgars Creek Secondary School. An Early Learning Centre is also within this area, providing families with convenience as all the services are co-located. This provides the opportunity for lifelong learning and strong community connections from birth to adulthood.
Strong links between our students¿ primary and secondary education have been established as a result of the co-location of our school and Edgars Creek Secondary College. Learning across the schools is maximised, with students, teachers, and families able to share learning opportunities, unique experiences, resources, assisting us to foster powerful community links.
Educational Philosophy
Edgars Creek Primary School aims to fully develop each young person academically, socially, emotionally, and physically, so they are well adjusted students who perform to the very best of their ability in all areas. We believe this can be best achieved in a happy, caring, safe and stimulating environment with the mutual commitment, support and cooperation of teachers, parents, students, and the wider school community. We begin with the end in mind: every child who attends Edgars Creek Primary School will become an active learner on their way to becoming a successful adult.
The physical design of Edgars Creek Primary School supports the school¿s vision of a Professional Learning Community. This ethos underpins the approach to teaching and learning and whole school operations. The design and intent of learning spaces facilitate a Professional Learning Community approach, enabling educators to collaborate, implement high-impact teaching strategies and reflect on the impact on learning in a continuous improvement culture. Learning Communities are designed around modifiable spaces that accommodate multiple learning approaches and can flexibly respond to the requirements of students and teachers, creating a sense of shared ownership, inclusion, and everyday learning.
