Noorat Primary School, established in 1873 has a proud history of providing high quality education for its community within a safe, caring environment of community spirit, respect and honesty. We have high expectations for the learning of all students and believe that every student can be successful. Consisting of a highly professional and committed staff who embrace meeting the diverse needs of all of our students, we have developed a sequential, inclusive curriculum in all strands and domains of the Victorian Essential Learning Standards. In both Literacy and Numeracy we model the highly successful Early Years approach to develop purposeful learning. The addition in 2011 of a Teaching and Learning coach focussing on Muneracy will further enrich our learning outcomes. Our Rotations program provides specialist expertise in ICT, PE, Science and LOTE (Indonesian) and combines with our valuable music and Netbook program to provide 21st Century opportunities. You Can Do It enriches the Restorative Practices approach to discipline and wellbeing. We enjoy a strong partnership with parents and the Noorat community, and proactive school council and parents club.This school has 6.53 equivalent full time staff teaching 58 students: 1.0 Principal class, 4.06 Teacher s and 1.47 Educational Support staff. Our students a enjoy their learning and are very happy and stimulated to reach their goals.
