Fyans Park Primary School was established in 1964 overlooking the Barwon Valley on the Newtown Hill in central Geelong. The school is set on a large, attractive site with established gardens and a range of areas for active and passive play. A BER building program comprising four new classrooms is nearing completion and will provide further flexibility for classes and programming. The school community shares a strong vision and commitment to providing the best opportunities for students in a vibrant and purposeful atmosphere. Students are nurtured, supported and encouraged to develop confidence in themselves as learners and to appreciate and value their role, and the role of others within the extended community. We believe that maximising every student's opportunities to learn is imperative, and that their potential is best developed in a flexible, stimulating and positive environment. Fyans Park parents demonstrate initiative and strong direction and are active participants in their children's learning. The school operates through teamwork, collaboration and consultation. Mutual trust and respect between staff, students and parents forms a positive learning environment. The relationship between school and home is highly valued and encouraged. The 2010 enrolment was 276 students with 15.4 full time teachers ( 2 Principal Class, 13.4 classroom teachers and 3.89 Educational Support Staff.
