Kingsley Park is located in the Lakewood Estate Frankston, approximately 42 kilometres from the centre of Melbourne on the Mornington Peninsula. Situated in a semi-bush setting, Kingsley Park has a rural feel to the tree lined grounds close to Robinson Reserve. School improvement priorities identified by the leadership team combined with School Council for moving the school forward to future success include Literacy, Numeracy and Student Wellbeing including Student Agency. Kingsley Park has a proud history of community participation and support, which generates a strong sense of community pride. The school community embrace and value the welcoming feel of the school participating in a wide range of events.
Kingsley Park Primary School is a vibrant place that encourages learning, laughter and play in a friendly and warm environment. We understand the importance of providing a safe environment for everyone and have a zero tolerance approach to child abuse.
`Engaging¿ children each and every day in a safe and secure environment is a key focus. We know that without children feeling safe they are unable to engage fully with their learning. The key to engagement is connectedness and stimulating learning and these are key elements in the children¿s explorations and learnings each day at school.
`Together¿ we achieve more. The children in isolation will explore but require guidance and scaffolding to excel. The children with a teacher achieve more through a gradual release of responsibility stemming from modelling through to independent application in a real life setting. The children, teacher, parents and families however are what truly achieve the greatest outcomes.
Our core School Values encompass the learning at Kingsley Park Primary School. It is central to the culture at our school and students, teachers and parents are asked to demonstrate these.
Respect- We respect each other, the rights of others and our environment.
Resilience- We instil in students the confidence to have a go and try their best and the ability to bounce back.
Excellence- The quality of putting in your best personal effort into all that you do and not having the focus on `beating others¿. We aim for every student to excel to their personal best.
Cooperation-We promote the values of collaboration, cooperation and getting along at all times.
Community- We encourage honest and open community interaction and involvement.
