Form of workMansfield Primary School - Inspire, Challenge, Support, Make a Difference.
Mansfield Primary School is approximately 200kms from Melbourne in North East Victoria. Mansfield is close to the Victorian High Country, Mt Buller, Mt Stirling, and Lake Eildon. Tourism and hospitality are key aspects of the town with cafes and restaurants, natural attractions and events providing interest for visitors and locals. Mansfield is a fantastic place to live and work. The town is small enough to meet people and get to know others in the community but has many sports, arts, music and recreational groups and activities.
The school is located on Apollo Street, close to the centre of town, and surrounded by council facilities including a pool, two ovals, basketball stadium (used for PE classes), skatepark and childrens playgrounds. The school is well equipped with a library, visual arts, music, performing arts and STEM classrooms. Our students are engaged in a number of exciting programs including the School to Summit outdoor program which is unique to Mansfield Primary School. In 2020 we opened a new building funded by the Victorian Government Building Program which provided six additional classrooms, staff work area and a large collaborative space.
The current student enrolment is 496 students across 22 classrooms. Many of our students come into Mansfield from surrounding areas. Enrolments have grown in recent years in line with the growth of the town.
Teachers at Mansfield Primary School work collaboratively in teams across the school. They are supported through regular Professional Leaning Community (PLC) inquiry cycles. Our Whole School Improvement Team drives school improvement and the implementation of AIP goals. Learning Specialists work with teachers to embed best practice into teaching and planning. Our Wellbeing Team support students, staff and families. Teachers build strong relationships with their students and families and communication underpins our work. Education Support staff work with students who need further support and ensure all students are included in learning and extra-curricular activities. Staff early in their careers are supported by mentors and shared planning whilst more experienced staff have opportunities to take on areas of responsibility and further their careers.
Students at Mansfield Primary School know what they are learning, and why. They have a voice through both formal and informal channels. Our School Council, Parents and Friends and parent community feel connected to, and invested in, the school.
This is a great place to work and learn. The strength of Mansfield Primary School comes from our community: our enthusiastic students, our dedicated staff and our supportive families.
