Willmott Park is situated on the northern outskirts of the Melbourne suburban area. The school opened in 1995 with 150 students and enrolment has stabilized in the past six years at around 600 students . A deaf facility is attached to the school which provides a vibrant learning setting for our hearing impaired students. At Willmott Park Primary School we provide a positive, caring, nurturing and stimulating environment inside and outside the classroom. Our students are encouraged to explore new and different curricular andand extra-curricular activities and to explore boundaries within safe limits. The students enjoy working both independently and as a team with other students and their teachers. A major investment in Professional Learning has been made towards raising numeracy andand literacy standards and has been a key priority to maintain a high pedagogical skill level among teachers. The right to learn is respected, allowing every child, including special needs and gifted children, to develop their potential. Every member of our learning community sets achievable goals and receives regular, constructive and positive feedback. We have high expectations for behaviour. Our behaviour management system creates a calm environment where issues are dealt with fairly and consistently.
