We respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners and Elders, both past and present, of the land, on which we come together. We are lucky to stand on the traditional lands of the Waddawurrung. We acknowledge the contributions of First Peoples from the past, present, and future. First Peoples and First Peoples will continue to work together to educate, unite and live in peace on this beautiful land we all call home, Australia.
A warm welcome to Newtown Primary School! Our entire school community is delighted to have you. We’re dedicated to nurturing each student, helping them reach their full potential in every aspect of their lives.
Newtown Primary is a sought-after choice for local families, and we’re incredibly proud of the strong learning community we’ve built, characterised by high levels of student engagement. Our core value of Respect underpins our strong commitment to providing enriching educational opportunities that develop our students’ academic, social, and personal skills.
I’m privileged to lead a team of dedicated and passionate teachers and support staff who work tirelessly to maximize student achievement each and every day.
Our school currently comprises 8 classes: one Foundation class, two composite classes of 1/2s, and 3/4s, and three composite classes of 5/6. Our comprehensive learning program is enhanced by specialist instruction in Indonesian, Visual Art, Music and Performing Arts, and Physical Education.
Our Performing Arts program features an annual whole-school production which is a highlight of our year, along with our Visual Arts program showcasing an energetic and colourful Art show displaying artwork from every student.
Our staff are encouraged and supported in collaborative planning and work to improve student outcomes and cater to diverse learning needs. Newtown Primary School enjoys a strong partnership between students, families, and staff, evident in the wide range of community events we hold throughout the year, including our major fundraiser, our Trivia and Auction night.
We highly value the home-school connection, recognizing it as vital to our students’ education. Parent involvement allows us to offer many educational activities that would otherwise be impossible. It also provides parents with opportunities to forge new friendships and become an integral part of our vibrant school community.
Newtown Primary School is a community-focused school with strong local ties, supported by a dedicated staff, School Council and multiple Student Voice Teams.
I am very proud of the open and friendly atmosphere we cultivate and the exceptional education we provide. We encourage prospective students and families in our area to contact us for more information or to schedule a school tour.
Sincerely,
Mr. Corrie Barclay
Principal.
