The school is committed to continually striving for learning excellence and the development of core goals, values and programs which reflect key trends in education. We have a long and strong history of academic success balanced by our desire and capacity to make a difference for every child. Additional opportunities for all pupils to shine are provided by specialist staff in the arts, PE, library, and Indonesian. Parent, staff and student opinion survey ratings about the school have been consistently very high. Newtown Primary is an acknowledged leader in curriculum innovation, teacher professional learning and also in Student Voice across the Barwon South Western Region. Newtown Primary School’s community has a strong commitment to providing an education that reflects a local and global responsibility to our environment and the awareness of sustainable practice. School community connections are a feature of Newtown Primary School. An ongoing compass communication newsfeed, fortnightly newsletters and assemblies, community evenings, and 3 way interviews help to consolidate these connections. Parent, Staff and Student Opinion surveys reflect a high level of community satisfaction with the school and its programs. Parents are invited to participate in class programs and to contribute to School Council and its associated committees.
