Mossfiel Primary School is situated in the established area of Hoppers Crossing, 30 km west of Melbourne. The school has been proudly serving the local community since 1970. Our student enrolment is around 400 children. Over the last 5 years we have introduced new strategies to best meet the learning needs of our diverse school population. Students are provided with a friendly learning environment that promotes independence, excellence and getting along with each other. Our main aim in the early years is to establish foundation skills necessary for further learning. The development of literacy and numeracy skills is of prime importance. We expect that all children will establish, to the best of their ability, the skills essential for success. The development of appropriate inter-personal and personal skills is also very important and we work effectively with our families to strengthen the children’s social development. Experienced enthusiastic teachers operate as a team, supporting each other and effectively taking up school responsibilities and initiatives. We have 34.3 equivalent full time staff, 2 Principal Class, 24 teachers and 8.3 Education Support staff. The school is actively supported by School Council, Parents and Friends and parent helpers in the classroom.
