Kilberry Valley Primary School is an inclusive school, characterised by its rich cultural diversity with students representing 40 different language backgrounds. Our teaching and learning provides a Prep to Year 6 program that meets the needs for each of our 400 students.
At Kilberry Valley Primary School, we have high expectations for all students in literacy and numeracy. In literacy our teachers intensively implement the Little Learners Lover Literacy program in our early years, with a major focus on synthetic phonics to support all children to be successful readers and spellers. In the middle and senior years, our teachers implement the Reader¿s workshop model, using a differentiated teaching approach and a focus on every student becoming independent readers. In Numeracy our teaching approach uses the Victorian Curriculum with hands on manipulatives and real-life learning.
Our vision is to "Develop Responsible Learners for a Changing Society¿. We believe that all students, staff, and the community can learn. The values of respect, responsiveness, integrity, impartiality, accountability, leadership, and human rights are paramount at Kilberry Valley Primary School.
As our school motto states, our staff strive daily to `Make THE Difference¿ to meet the needs of every student.
Our school Wellbeing program is well equipped with a Mindfulness room, Regulation Station and Wellbeing centre. Social emotional approach to learning underpins everything we do to ensure an inclusive environment building resilience and maintaining positive relationships. The school community continues to embrace the use of information technology to challenge our students and communicate with each other.
Our well-resourced specialist programs are exemplary in Media Arts, Performing Arts, Physical Education, and Personal and Social Capabilities Program. The school has a fully operational TV Studio, two computer labs, media arts space, performing arts rooms and full-sized gymnasium. Our school participates in in interschool sport, and we regularly achieve successful teams in many different sports.
