AddressThornhill Park Primary School was established in 2023 and is located in the suburb of Thornhill Park approximately 40 kilometres west of Melbourne. Our school has capacity for 650 students and caters for students from Years Prep to 6. The grounds sit alongside a new creek installation in the Thornhill Park Estate and is surrounded by many new houses, bike paths and open park spaces. The school community will be culturally diverse with many families coming from a language background other than English. We aim to provide a strong culture of inclusion and establish a supportive environment for all students.
Our staff will have a range of experience and work in teams to provide differentiated programs for all students. We value the establishment of a strong culture and look to build a team of people who have students at the centre of their decision making and strive to make an impact. We offer a curriculum based on building strong foundations in Literacy and Numeracy, whilst providing students with a range of real-life and problem-based experiences. Our teaching spaces also enable us to have a Specialist hub consisting of Physical Education, Food Tech, STEM, The Arts and Auslan. Our learning environments provide opportunities for students to explore their curiosity and develop as 21st Century citizens.
