Moonambel Primary School is a rural school situated 20km from Avoca and 90 km from Ballarat. It is in the heart of the Pyrenees district, which is regarded for producing fine food. Moonambel Primary School was built in 1875 and has a rich and proud history amongst the local and broader community.
The school's motto is 'Creating Bright Futures,' and we do this through educating our students to become:
¿ Successful learners,
¿ Confident and creative individuals, and
¿ Active and informed citizens.
Moonambel Primary School strives to build a safe and supportive environment that respects the rights of all students to learn, the rights of all teachers to teach and the rights of all members of the school community to be safe. We believe the development and promotion of high-quality relationships are responsibilities shared by all members of the school community. Our school values align academic and behaviour expectations to explicitly teach, monitor and acknowledge positive behaviours that promote our school values.
¿ Kind: Have care for self and others at all times.
¿ Respectful: Treat others as you would like to be treated.
¿ Responsible: Do what you know is right and encourage others to do the same.
Our vision is to develop social and life long learners in an inclusive, engaging learning environment, where all students are confident to reach their full potential. We are committed to making our school inclusive for all learners. With one of the advantages for families being a free bus service to and from school daily.
Moonambel Primary School¿s current enrolments are 12. The staffing profile consists of highly experienced, passionate and motivated staff. A full-time teaching principal, two part-time classroom teachers, a full time education support employee, a business manager who works one day per week and two part time MARC teaching staff to make up a full time role.
Moonambel Primary School is the base school for the Pyrenees MARC program, servicing 10 small schools in our region. Moonambel's classroom structure consists of two classrooms of Foundation to Year 2 and Year 3 to Year 6. Our classroom design is fluid and flexible with our highly experienced staff working closely with each other to ensure the learning and wellbeing of every child is targeted and transparent with families.
At Moonambel Primary School we seek to create a challenging learning environment that encourages high expectations for success through developmentally appropriate instruction that allows for individual differences and learning styles. Our school promotes a safe environment that is based on routines with an emphasis on care and support. Wellbeing is at the centre of all that we do with positive relationships with students, parents, staff and the wider community being a priority.
We strive to develop a love of learning in our students across all areas of the curriculum. Daily structured literacy and numeracy provide the foundation for our students to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills necessary for an ever changing world. We provide an extensive excursion and incursion program which integrates the learning in the classroom into the real world.
One of our many strengths is the ability and capacity to provide individualised education for all students focused on their point of need. We do this by building authentic partnerships with families, listening to and learning from one another for the best outcomes for each student.
Our modern facilities, both inside and outside of the classroom, consist of every student having 1:1 technology at no cost to families. At Moonambel Primary School we view technology as a tool for learning to enhance learning experiences for our students. The diversity in our program is highlighted through our Swim Program, Camp Program, Sports Program, Cluster Program, MARC Program and a range of events throughout the year with our local community.
In 2023 the establishment of a two year learning cycle for our specialist learning areas was established and launched. These learning areas include Science, Physical Education, The Arts: Dance, Music, Performing Arts, Media Arts, Visual Arts and STEM. We are very proud of our rich and diverse curriculum that we immerse our students in.
Fortnightly the Pyrenees Cluster Primary Schools of Moonambel, Landsborough, Natte Yallock, Amphitheater, Trawalla and Navarre work together at one of the primary schools to engage in a range of curriculum areas. In 2024 these included Digital Technology, Music, Visual Arts, PE and Respectful Relationships.
Parent partnership and involvement is highly encouraged as it enables the successful operation of the school. Our school invites all families to become members of our School Council. Our Junior School Council, led by students, meets on a fortnightly basis with all students to plan, discuss and work towards school improvement and initiatives. Student voice at Moonambel Primary School is a crucial aspect of our school culture.
