Grasmere Primary School is located 15 kilometres north of Warrnambool. Our enrolment for 2010 was 51 students, up 60% on the previous year . The students are educated in a vibrant and challenging atmosphere where the values of respect, responsibility and fairness are interwoven with the 'You Can Do It' program of resilience, getting along, and being organised. We moved into our new school in term 2, 2010 and are now continuing to focus on improving our teaching practice and developing even stronger links with the surrounding community. The school offers a comprehensive curriculum program with a strong commitment to the teaching and learning of literacy and numeracy along with specialist programs such as music, drama, science, health, art, LOTE, a kitchen garden program, and an inquiry based approach to the study of society and the environment. We have a large number of parent volunteers and pride ourselves on small group teaching to students at their point of need with regular access to specialist support when required. The school has a strong focus on student wellbeing, extra curricular academic (debating, public speaking, Leadership programs, Tournament of Minds) and sporting activities to provide opportunities for every student. This school has 4.7 equivalent fulltime staff: 1 principal class, 3 teachers and 0.9 Educational Support Staff. Safe, Supportive, Successful…when small schools think big.
