With a significant proportion of students speaking English as an Additional Language, we offer tailored programmes and targeted support to ensure all learners thrive.
A seamless transition into primary education is guaranteed through our on-site kindergarten, where Foundation teachers collaborate closely with early years staff to deliver a cohesive and engaging transition programme. This partnership lays the foundation for a positive and confident start to school life.
At the heart of Broadmeadows Primary are our core values¿Kindness, Respect, and Learning Together¿which cultivate a caring culture where students are encouraged to `Aim High¿ and strive for their best. Our Wellbeing framework empowers students to take ownership of their learning, develop self-regulation, and build resilience within a calm and supportive environment that prioritises wellbeing.
Our curriculum, aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, is broad and enriching, featuring specialist subjects such as Physical Education, Visual Arts, STEM, and Spanish.
We believe every student is unique and tailor our teaching to build on individual strengths while addressing areas for growth. Our safe learning environment incorporates tools like Emotion Walls, which help both staff and students identify and address social and emotional challenges early. We also foster a strong sense of community, encouraging students to understand how their actions impact others and the wider school community.
