Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Waverley Meadows Primary School where we are committed to developing resilient learners who are keen to come to school and enjoy all aspects of the school environment.
Our vision is to develop our students to be critical and creative thinkers with a passion for learning.
The school motto of “To Learn is to Grow” guides our daily practices and we embrace opportunities for growth in all areas. All members of our community act with kindness and respect. We are a school that is large in grounds and even bigger in heart, with room to grow.
We have a strong wellbeing focus with The Resilience Project – our leading program where we practice G.E.M – Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness daily.
We value our community culture, and we promote strong partnerships between home, school and local community. We pride ourselves on our inclusiveness and acknowledge and celebrate the diverse cultural backgrounds of our students and their families.
We offer lots of sporting opportunities with a large oval, 2 synthetic basketball/ netball/soccer courts as well as 2 playgrounds, a nature play space and shaded seating areas. An expansive vegetable garden and chicken coop enable students to experience Agricultural studies as a part of their Science program and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden (SAKG) Program which is a key priority leading our ‘garden to plate’ program.
Staff continue to work hard to develop, refine and embed strong Professional Learning Community (PLC) priorities with a focus on development of the whole child including data literacy and differentiated learning as required, whilst responding to individual student needs.
Our classrooms have been recently upgraded and are now inviting, calm workspaces where students enjoy learning.
I invite you to come and see us in action where I will take you on a personal tour of the school. You are welcome to contact me at any time for more information by phoning the school on (03) 9561 2879.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to become a part of this wonderful community.
Regards,
Meredith Thornton
Principal
