Our VisionAt Mernda Park PS we encourage our students to have high expectations of themselves and their work, and to produce their best. Learning is at the centre and purpose of all that we do aiming for high student outcomes and preparing students to pursue their chosen pathways, interests and aspirations. All teachers and support staff work to provide a teaching pedagogy reflective of 21st Century designs including ICT rich environments and Personalised Learning for all students. At the same time an overarching emphasis is placed on nurturing the well being of all students, providing a safe and secure environment. Mernda Park PS is an educational facility where the rights of others to learn are respected and it is the collective responsibility of everyone to ensure that this happens.
Our core business is to support students to become literate and numerate in readiness for an exciting future, which we today can only imagine. Through the Education State Initiatives planning and assessments utilise the Victorian Curriculum to delve into Literacy and STEAM subjects including Science, Technology, Engineering, The Arts and Mathematics. A range of technologies and experiences are available to assist students with their learning including various devices and software, which engage students to explore and create. To be successful in the future, current research shows that students need to be encouraged to be curious learners and develop skills in collaboration, critical thinking, creativity and communication. A feature of our school is our goal to support our students to work collaboratively and actively to problem solve with the aim of becoming resilient, happy and curious students. Our curriculum meets students where they are at their own developmentally appropriate stage. Children are encouraged to collaboratively build knowledge from early years play based learning and oral language exploration to more rigorous investigation projects promoting a desire for deep learning that is the basis for all innovation. The scope of our curriculum is broad with Mernda Park PS having an outstanding Performing Arts and Sporting program, which is enhanced by the great facilities including a Netball Victoria, approved full sized netball court, a stage and audio-visual recording studio. |
