Kerang Primary School is located within the central business district of Kerang and has a strong partnership with parents. The effects of the long drought has impacted heavily on families, with enrolments continuing to decline and an increasing number of families seeking financial assistance. It has 9.4 full time staff: 1 Principal, 6.3 Teachers and 2.1 Education Support Staff. The school council and parents club are actively engaged in school activities and fundraising with our bi-yearly fete is a highlight with the whole school community. Kerang Primary School is committed to continuous improvement in all areas of the curriculum. A strong emphasis has been placed on Numeracy, Literacy and ICT which is enhanced by our participation in regional coaching programs. This includes Literacy and a Numeracy coordinator training in early years intervention programs. Our Koori students and their families are supported by a KESO officer and local elders. The Koorie students are engaged in learning and have a high level of attendance and participation rate. The school was established in 1874 and has a long, proud tradition in the local community with a vision for the future that includes further development and integration of information and communication technologies, high quality explicit teaching in learning neighbourhoods and a policy of putting the student at the centre of learning in a safe, friendly learning environment.
