We love to combine innovative teaching with a great team.
Westbreen Primary School, situated in the northern suburbs on the border of Pascoe Vale and Glenroy, has provided education to the local community since being established in 1923. Westbreen’s core purpose is to offer a caring learning environment for all students. Students are proud of their environment, they recognise responsibility for their learning and are actively involved in the life of the school. Enrolments are primarily drawn from the Glenroy and Pascoe Vale suburbs.
The learning environment is situated in spacious, well maintained grounds, providing for a wholistic positive learning environment. The spacious grounds contain an oval (which incorporates football / soccer goals cricket pitch), two basketball/netball courts, a number of bat tennis courts and three playground areas. Many native trees and purpose-build shade areas provide protected areas for outdoor learning and play. With the completion of our Capital Works program, raised vegetable garden beds were created to be used by students and community members.
Staff at Westbreen Primary work collaboratively in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) to provide learning programs in accordance with the Victorian Curriculum. Instructional models are used to support program planning, to inform conversations and to guide the observation and reflection of classroom practice for continual improvement. We strive to develop all students’ capacity as learners through our commitment to teaching excellence and differentiating the curriculum to cater for the diverse abilities and needs of our students.
At Westbreen, all students are valued and differences are accepted within a supportive school environment, which promotes self-esteem, fosters participation and provides tools to explore their learning. At Westbreen Primary, there is a strong belief that true learning must be relevant, meaningful and rigorous for all students.
Westbreen Primary School is continually evaluating student and school needs and planning future developments. It is dedicated to delivering excellence in the curriculum and providing the best education for our students. Specialist programs include Italian, Performing and Visual Arts, Science and Physical Education. Information Communication Technology (ICT) enhances learning, motivation and engagement. Community members are an integral part of the school’s educational program, supporting students, participating in areas of the curriculum including classroom helpers, maintenance of facilities, and fundraising activities. The community benefits from the experience of parents and links with local community.
Written student reports and Student Led Conferences provide information to parents on student achievement and progress. The Annual Report to School Council details the advances and accomplishments of the school. The weekly newsletter provides parents and the community with information and is used to inform and encourage participation in school events.
School Council
The school council assists in the efficient governance of the school, ensure that its decisions affecting students of the school are made having regard, as a primary consideration, to the best interest of the students and enhance the educational opportunities of students at the school.
A school council directly influences the quality of education that a school provides to its students. Westbreen’s School Council consists of elected parent, community and staff members. Elections are held each year in March. Please contact the office if you are interested.
Three of the critical roles of school councils are; participating in the development of the strategic plan, approving the annual budget, and developing, reviewing and updating policies.
With the implementation of our Strategic Plan, supported by our Annual Implementation Plan each year, we can ensure that all staff have a shared vision and contextualise their teaching practices leading to improved performance outcomes for all students.
