Kilberry Valley Primary School
Kilberry Valley Primary School is an inclusive and diverse school located in Hampton Park, Victoria. We are proud of our culturally rich community, with over 60% of our students identified as having English as an Additional Language and more than 40 language backgrounds represented across the school. Our diversity is a key strength, reflected in our values, practices, and learning environment.
We deliver a comprehensive Prep to Year 6 program using a structured and explicit teaching model across all year levels. Our curriculum is aligned with the Victorian Curriculum and underpinned by evidence-based instructional strategies and responsive teaching practices. In the early years, we implement Phonics Plus with a strong focus on structured synthetic phonics to build foundational literacy skills. From Years 3 to 6, students are explicitly taught using resources from PHORMES and Ochre to extend their literacy and numeracy skills through structured, targeted instruction.
We use a range of evidence-based assessment tools, including DIBELS, DAL, PAT, and Common Assessment Tasks (CATs) to monitor progress, inform teaching, and ensure each student¿s learning needs are met.
We have a dedicated Intervention team that supports student learning growth through the implementation of programs such as MacqLit and Heggerty.
Kilberry Valley Primary School is committed to building staff capacity and fostering a culture of collaboration and growth. Staff engage in weekly Professional Learning Community (PLC) cycles, focusing on data analysis, instructional improvement, and shared accountability for student outcomes. Our large and diverse leadership team provides high levels of support to staff, while maintaining high expectations to ensure continuous school improvement through professional learning.
Wellbeing is central to our school culture. In 2025, we achieved a HIGH rating in the Wellbeing domain on our school performance report, and we are collectively striving to replicate this success in the Learning domain. We are a School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) school, with clearly defined whole-school expectations and consistent behaviour frameworks embedded across all classrooms.
Our school values are encapsulated in our motto Kilberry CARES:
These values are explicitly taught, modelled, and reinforced in all aspects of school life. Each classroom is equipped with a Ready to Learn space designed to support student regulation and self-management. We also offer a range of targeted wellbeing programs including Peaceful Kids, Social-Emotional Learning Groups, and Art Therapy, coordinated through our wellbeing team.
Our specialist programs in, Performing Arts, Physical Education, STEAM and Social Emotional Learning (SEL) are highly valued.
At Kilberry Valley Primary School, our vision is:
¿We take pride in our rich diversity, empower students to reach their full potential, and inspire a passion for excellence through high expectations and quality learning experiences.¿
We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and dynamic learning community where all students are supported to thrive. Through our high expectations, explicit teaching, strong partnerships, and unwavering focus on student wellbeing, we are making a difference¿every day¿for every learner.
