Form of workInglewood is forty-five kilometres north-west of Bendigo and the Inglewood Primary School is situated within the historic township area. The original school was built in 1870 and was both a primary and secondary school until 1982, when it reverted to being a primary school.
Our School Values are `Achievement, Respect & Community'. These values frame the expectations of students, staff and the parent community at Inglewood Primary School.
Inglewood Primary School provides a range of structured learning opportunities for a student population with a range of abilities. The school is in the Loddon Shire and reflects a medium/low socio-economic profile. School fees are minimal and through Equity Funding and funds raised by Parents & Friends, the school subsidises the cost of camps, excursions and extra-curricular activities so they are affordable for all families. Parents enthusiastically support school programs and fund-raising activities.
Inglewood Primary School offers a broad curriculum for its students with an explicit focus on Literacy and Numeracy. It is the school's goal to have every child achieve their potential through the provision of high-quality teaching practices. Evidence of this is the refining of instructional teaching models for reading, writing and mathematics. Consistent Instructional Models apply across the school and provide a clear framework for high level pedagogical practice in every classroom. Every child should leave the school with self-confidence and an appreciation that learning takes effort and that community involvement is important. While providing a differentiated curriculum for all ability levels and learning styles, our main focus is on students being fully engaged, feeling safe and supported and achieving their best possible learning outcomes.
We continue to implement our 2020-2023 School Strategic Plan, with a focus on literacy, numeracy, student well-being, voice & agency. The school is organized into three home group classes; a Prep/1, a Grade 2/3 and a Grade 5/6. School staff included a Principal, three classroom teachers, two ES staff and a part-time office manager (0.4 EFT). The school is visited fortnightly by the MARC Van we have a student wellbeing worker two days/week, funded through the National Schools Chaplaincy Program.
The school has an active garden to kitchen program, which gives the children the opportunity to cultivate, harvest, prepare and enjoy eating healthy produce on a regular basis.
Applicants seeking part-time employment are encouraged to apply for any teaching service position and, if they are the successful candidate, request a reduced time fraction. Such requests will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be subject to the operational requirements of the school.
