Location Profile  

Academic Excellence in a Country Setting

Moriac Primary School has an enrolment of approximately 230 students. We have a strong sense of community and the school is firmly entrenched with the Moriac Township and surrounding communities.

Moriac Primary School was established in 1922, built by the Moriac Progress Association on land donated by the Deppeler Family. This origin epitomizes the sense of community partnership that underpins the success of Moriac Primary School.

At Moriac Primary School we value a collaborative learning approach that places the child at the centre of learning and teaching. Our vision of creating students who become engaged citizens and can strengthen the wellbeing of their society, is at the core of everything we do and this vision is underpinned by the following guiding values: Exceptional, Responsible and Respectful.

Academic rigour is valued at all stages with a consistent and high quality curriculum that realises the potential of every student. Beyond academic success we aspire to students graduating as global citizens with a strong character. Furthermore, students who are critical and creative thinkers, great communicators and a strong ability to collaborate.

Curriculum:

Moriac Primary School is a 'Professional Learning Community' of passionate, skilful educators whose focus is on ensuring that 'all children learn at their point of need'. We are committed in our belief that all children have the capacity to achieve success and are united in our efforts to ensure our students are given the best opportunities to learn, and achieve high quality success.

Our curriculum encompasses English (Phonics, Readers and Writers Workshop), Maths, Humanities and Respectful Relationships. Students also have the specialist subjects of Art, Physical Education, LOTE (French), Science and STEM.

Our school provides modern facilities including access to technology to support 21st century learning.

Wellbeing:

At Moriac Primary School we use School Wide Positive Behaviour (SWPB) as an evidenced-based framework for preventing and responding to behaviours in school. This is a whole school approach to creating an environment which encourages effective learning through the development of a positive learning environment. We teach our students how to behave appropriately and uphold the school Core Values.

We recognise that learning socially acceptable behaviours is a process which everybody moves through at a different pace. Interventions and support have a common goal of maximising inclusion and building student capacity.
