Welcome to Clifton Springs Primary School
Our School Vision
To develop outstanding citizens and life long learners who believe that effort and persistence leads to success. Through our core values of Respect, Responsibility, Empathy, Innovation and Excellence we strive to make a difference in our community and environment.
Principal's Message
Clifton Springs Primary School is a vibrant, innovative and genuinely student centred school situated in the heart of the growing Clifton Springs / Curlewis growth area. We create a safe and friendly learning environment where students develop confidence, creativity and leadership skills. We promote a growth mindset in students where they are set challenging achievable learning and personal goals and are supported by staff and families to achieve them. Our values of Respect, Responsibility, Empathy, Innovation and Excellence are reflected in our approach and flow through our school community.
As an inclusive school and community we promote acceptance and celebration of difference. Our high quality evidence based approach focuses on what students are ready to learn and our staff work in collaborative teams with a focus on shared accountability through the use of Professional Learning Teams. We are a community of learners who have shaped our program based on current best practice in pedagogy supported by research. As a staff we actively engage in action research in line with our strategic plan to better meet the needs of our students academically and socially.
We have continued to forge ahead as a leading school in Student Voice and leadership development evidenced by our very active student leadership groups and structures including our Student Representative Council, School Captains, House Captains, Sports Academy, ICT leaders, Environmental leaders and POD Squad to name just a few. These student leaders drive a number of projects across the school and have brought significant change to our programs and approaches.
Our core programs in English and Maths are complemented by specialist programs in Physical Education, Visual Arts, Music and Science ensuring our students have a rich curricular experience.
