Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to our school. As principal of Highvale Primary School I am privileged and honoured to lead our school community. I have enormous pride in the effort and achievements of our students and staff, together with our parents who make Highvale such a special place to be.

For each of our students, growing up in the 21st century ‘global community’ provides exciting opportunities and challenges. At Highvale we aim to educate our students so that they are prepared to thrive in this community. Fundamental to this is our comprehensive curriculum design, informed by the Victorian Curriculum and whole school evidence-based teaching and student wellbeing practices. At the core of our work is the belief that every student must feel safe and secure at school, be supported to do this and experience consistent evidence-based teaching practices.

Teaching must be informed by student assessment, planned collaboratively by teams of teachers and differentiated to target the vast learning needs of students. At Highvale we place an emphasis on the importance of a strong home and school partnership to best educate each child. We therefore actively seek to involve and continually enhance parent engagement and involvement in our school. This assists our teachers to do their best work for your child.
