Glenorchy Primary School is a birth – grade 6 school situated in the centre of the City of Glenorchy. Our school community is very diverse. We have a relatively large proportion of students from backgrounds other than English (approx 15%) and 10% of our students identify as aboriginal. We aim for a “family- friendly” school. We subscribe to the belief that every child is a learner and that we will improve our school – “One child at a time” – this refers to the importance of individualising the curriculum and maintaining a supportive, problem solving approach to assisting each child to reach his/her maximum potential. Results from student surveys indicate that our students feel very connected to the school and in particular to their teachers. The high scores our students give us in relation to teacher empathy and effectiveness reflect the strong nurturing environment of the school and the efforts of each individual teacher to ensure that they meet, as best as possible, the needs of each child. We are working together to create a vibrant learning community for all where every child matters.
