Altona Meadows Primary School is one of 18 schools in the Hobsons Bay network of schools in the Western Metropolitan Region of Melbourne. The school has embarked on a region wide improvement strategy that aims to build upon the significant gains already made by our students in recent years. We have had a consistent population of 340 students over many years. Our students come from a diverse multicultural and socioeconomic background. We have moved into the new Building Education Revolution building which houses 6 classrooms and provides an excellent facility for teaching and learning. Our curriculum has an emphasis on analytical thinking skills and improving numeracy and literacy. We also strive to support students to develop social relationships and personal skills that assist them to participate successfully both in the school and the broader community. Our teachers work in professional learning teams to improve the curriculum, reflect on their teaching practice, share information and co-operatively develop high quality activities and welfare programs for students. We are particularly proud of our involvement in the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden program. Our school has 29.8 equivalent full- time staff, 2 Principal class, 22 teachers and 12 Education Support Staff.
