At Colbinabbin Primary we work to ensure our children enjoy their education and are active and healthy learners who try their best. We hope to provide all children with the skills and behaviours to achieve their life goals.
At CPS we teach children who have a vast range of ability levels, skills and attributes; children with unique personalities, interests and wants. They remain the focus of all we do at Colbinabbin PS.
Our school motto is `Learners today, leaders tomorrow.
We strive to abide by 5 core values in our everyday interactions with one another and in the development of our programs and policies:
- RESPECT for ourselves, others and things around us
- HONESTY truthfulness and open communication in all our actions and thoughts.
- TRUST by having confidence in, and believing in the ability of those around us.
- UNDERSTANDING to be accepting, supportive and tolerant of everyone in our school community.
- COOPERATION to assist and support each other in our work.
In 2025, we have an enrolment of 59 students- with 4 classes.
The small size of our school assists in providing a safe and friendly learning environment, where the strengths and weaknesses of individual students are known, and taken into account, in designing differentiated teaching and learning programs. The focus of our teaching is to provide a differentiated teaching and learning program where children's individual needs are being met and where learning is challenging yet success can be experienced.
Data is used to guide us in the creation of literacy and numeracy groups and to determine individual point of need teaching. Whole group, small group and individual activities are visible in all classrooms every day. We teach a broad and rigorous curriculum in line with the Victorian Curriculum. ICT use and skill acquisition is embedded within all curriculum areas. A curriculum scope and sequence exists from P-6 and from this document, teachers plan their learning program. Colbinabbin PS is situated in a picturesque rural setting. There is a very healthy sense of community within the school and the school provides a point of focus for the wider Colbinabbin community.
Approximately 20% of students travel to school by bus from within the district. Our families are predominantly involved in agriculture and viticulture.
Our strong commitment to the Campaspe Small Schools Cluster provides our students with further opportunities to broaden their social, sporting and cultural networks through sporting days, camping programs, cultural days and excursions.
