Coatesville Primary School is an authorised International Baccaleaurate - Primary Years Programme (IB-PYP) World School. Strong growth in the student population (457 in 2011) can be attributed to the committed, caring and professional staff, who work in partnership with School Council and the wider parent community, in the interests of every child. The sequential development of Literacy and Numeracy skills are a focus from Prep to Grade 6. Support programs, inclusive of Reading Recovery and English As A Second Language, provide additional assistance to build student confidence in learning. Teachers are skilled in extending the talents and interests of every student. Annual Student Led Conferences empower each child to share his/her progress, goals and achievements with parents. Our commitment to the provision of a comprehensive, primary education is evidenced by specialist teachers for Visual Art, Music, Sports/PE, Environmental Science Education and LOTE-French. Wide ranging extra-curricula activities are offered. The 5 Whole School Values are important to the foundations of lifelong learning and are expected to be modelled by all within our community. Student Wellbeing is a key to student success. Coatesville's "Building Positive Behaviours Model," guides behavioural expectations and self responsibility for one's actions. Coatesville is at the forefront of evolving technologies, such as, iPADs, Interactive Smartboards and Netbooks. We understand the importance of technology and its role in inspiring our students to inquire and research globally.
