Northcote Primary School is an inclusive, community-minded, and caring school with strong values that guide everything that we do.
Our priority is the explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy, and we offer an extensive selection of educational programs that support and extend these core learning areas. Additionally, we provide opportunities and challenges for every student that complements their diverse strengths and interests. We hold high expectations for every child and expect each student to achieve to the best of their ability.
At Northcote, we provide a calm and orderly environment. Across the school, we have established routines and consistency in learning and teaching protocols that ensure an environment where all students can reach their full potential.
Our teachers are highly talented and dedicated. They work in collaboration to develop a school culture that values teaching and learning. They encourage all students to strive to achieve their best with their academic learning, including developing their social and emotional wellbeing, to ensure all-round success. Our teachers are approachable, highly capable and dedicated to ensuring that every student in their care achieves to the very best of their abilities.
Every day our students show how much they care for each other, in both the classroom and the playground – exemplified through respectful interactions with friends and peers. We highly value student voice and agency which gives children the opportunity to shape their own learning experience. Student Leadership comes alive in various forms at Northcote Primary School.
We are proud to acknowledge the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung people of the Kulin Nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we learn, grow and play. We pay our respect to the elders of the community for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australians and we extend our recognition to all their descendants.
We will always remember that under the concrete and asphalt, the land, sea and waterways were, and always will be, traditional Indigenous land.
