Since its inception in 1952, our school has been a cornerstone of education in Shepparton, fostering generations of students who have gone on to make significant contributions to various fields.
Over the years, our institution has evolved into a vibrant multicultural hub that embraces modern teaching methodologies while preserving the values that have been integral to our community.
We are proud of our history and continue to build upon it year after year.
Our curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, critical thinking, and a lifelong passion for learning.
We believe in offering a holistic education that goes beyond textbooks, encompassing real-world experiences and hands-on learning.
With a strong emphasis on the core learning areas of reading, writing and numeracy, we aim to prepare our students for the challenges of the future.
At the heart of our school’s success lies the importance of strong relationships.
We recognise that education is not solely about academics; it is about fostering a sense of belonging, empathy, and collaboration among students, teachers, parents, and the wider community.
We believe that a supportive and inclusive environment is essential for optimal learning outcomes.
Our school’s emphasis on social-emotional learning ensures that our students not only excel academically, but also develop into well-rounded individuals who exhibit kindness, resilience, and a strong sense of ethics.
One of the pillars of our school’s success is our team of dedicated and talented teachers.
They bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the classroom, ensuring that each student receives personalised attention and support.
Our teachers are committed to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment where every child can thrive and reach their full potential.
At St Georges Road Primary School, we recognise the importance of the science of reading in early literacy development.
Our reading program is grounded in evidence-based practices that focus on phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.
By building strong foundational reading skills, we empower our students to become confident readers and communicators.
Our commitment to education extends beyond academics. We take immense pride in our physical education, arts, and music programs.
These programs not only promote physical wellbeing and creativity but also provide avenues for self-expression and teamwork.
Our students explore their interests and talents in a supportive and encouraging environment.
One of the highlights of our school is our newly developed, vibrant house system.
This system fosters connection, healthy competition, and teamwork among students.
Through various inter-house events and activities, students develop leadership skills, sportsmanship, and a strong sense of belonging.
Our house system, the names and logo for which were chosen by the students, is an integral part of our school culture, and it promotes positive values that extend far beyond the classroom.
St Georges Road Primary School is a thriving vibrant and culturally diverse community.
Our proud Indigenous students, students from various ethnic backgrounds and our staff and wider community, work together to foster an enriching environment that celebrates traditions, cultures, and perspectives.
By embracing this diversity, St Georges Road Primary School cultivates global awareness, empathy, and a sense of unity among its students, preparing them to navigate an interconnected world with open minds and hearts.
As we enter our 71st year, I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead.
St George’s Road Primary School will continue to evolve, adapt, and innovate to provide an exceptional education that equips our students with the skills, knowledge, and values they need to thrive in an ever-changing world.
I invite you all to join us in this journey, as we work hand-in-hand to shape the future of our students and our community.
Thank you for entrusting us with the education and growth of your children. Together, let us continue to build upon the strong foundation that St Georges Road Primary School represents.
