Our intended outcomes are a further improvement in student progression points in Literacy and Numeracy. Performance measures and targets are to exceed state and like school benchmarks in student achievement and NAPLAN data. This process is outlined in the development and implementation of the school’s Strategic Plan and Annual Implementation Plans.

Teacher participation in professional learning – All teaching staff have participated in professional learning throughout the year to achieve school, team and personal goals. Other professional learning includes – Learning Walks, Coaching in Literacy, Numeracy and ICT.

The school has a progressive approach to the uses of technologies as a learning tool. All classes have access to ipads, desktop technology and a bring your own device program has been implemented.

The school has a strong emphasis on Literacy and Numeracy. This is demonstrated through our results in:

- NAPLAN

- Victorian Curriculum judgements

- School based and network-wide assessments.

At Roslyn Primary School we encourage everyone to strive to achieve their greatest potential to make a positive contribution to diverse and ever-changing local and global society. In embracing our school’s motto of ‘Rocketing to Success’, we endeavour to develop creative, innovative individuals, who are able to embrace the changes of the future.

We value Respect, Optimism and Creativity. Showing respect means you act in a way that shows you care about yourself and the feelings and wellbeing of others. When we are optimistic we expect the best and we maintain a positive outlook. We are creative when we produce something using our talents and imagination.

At Roslyn Primary School we aim high, reaching for the stars, in every aspect of school life. Our motto is ‘Roslyn Rockets – Rocketing to Success’ which reflects our aim for us – staff, students and families - to be aspirational in all that we do.

Our students are provided with opportunities to develop personal qualities and attitudes that will teach them how to build positive relationships and face the challenges of the future with confidence, compassion and respect. They learn how to be decisions makers, problem solvers and strong communicators. All students learn how to be leaders and how to work in a team. Students are inspired to be self-motivated learners - working from individualised learning goals in reading, writing, maths and inquiry so that learning can target their needs.

Our Teaching and Learning program reflects the belief that 'thinking' is the foundation of all learning and within a rapidly changing world students need to have greater thinking and problem-solving abilities, to be more self-motivated than ever before. We teach students a variety of cognitive thinking processes and strategies that will help equip them with the skills to navigate through an information rich future.

Our Curriculum is based on ‘The Victorian Curriculum’ using an Inquiry Learning approach, with a strong focus on learning through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths). The use of an Inquiry approach to learning, with a focus on STEAM, helps us provide personalised and authentic learning and promote the ability to learn and understand within a global context, and it enables learning experiences to be broadened and deepened. Students actively make observations, collect, analyse, and synthesise information, and draw conclusions, developing useful problem-solving skills to adapt to future ‘need to know’ situations. They develop habits of mind that can last a lifetime and guide learning and creative thinking.

Our school has a strong sense of community and understands that the school experience is not just for the students but the whole family. We value and encourage parents to be actively involved in a wide variety of forums. Families are our students’ first teachers and when we work together we can reach for the stars!

Roslyn Primary School is located on Roslyn Road in Belmont, and has undergone significant rebuilding and improvement, completed in 2018. We have had buildings demolished and fully replaced, allowing for every classroom to be a flexible learning space, catering to modern teaching and learning strategies.

Northern Bay P-12 College is a unique multi-campus school located in the Northern Suburbs of Geelong. It is made up of four junior campuses (four P-8 campuses), one senior campus (years 9-12) a Family Centre and an Early Learning Centre. Our junior campuses are based on a team structure focussed around three learning communities, Year P-2, Year 3-5 and Year 6-8. Our Year 9 is another learning community leading on to post compulsory education at Years 10-12.

Northern Bay College’s aim is to provide a supportive, coordinated and consistent approach to the education and wellbeing of children and young people enrolled in government schools in the Corio/ Norlane area.

The five campuses that make up Northern Bay College have been undertaking sustained discussions and collaborative planning since the end of 2006 to create a new entity at the beginning of the 2011 school year. This project had been informed and defined by the collation and analysis of student outcomes that clearly indicate an educational need for cluster/ network or individual school improvement.

The College embraces a growing cultural diversity that includes Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students from non English speaking backgrounds and a significant indigenous population. The College is working towards addressing the specific needs of these students through a structured EAL (English as an Additional Language) and Wannick Program.

The College and the community is characterised by high levels of social disadvantage. The parent population is characterised by high unemployment, single parent families and high mobility. The Student Family Occupation Index range within the College averages). 0 80. Currently, many students start schooling in the Prep year without being `school ready’ All campuses are tailoring their programs and allocating their resources to meet the diverse needs of all students. These include:

• Re-engagement program for at risk students.
• Intervention programs in both Literacy and Numeracy.
• College Chaplaincy program.

At Roslyn Primary School we encourage everyone to strive to achieve their greatest potential to make a positive contribution to diverse and ever-changing local and global society. In embracing our school’s motto of ‘Rocketing to Success’, we endeavour to develop creative, innovative individuals, who are able to embrace the changes of the future.

We value Respect, Optimism and Creativity. Showing respect means you act in a way that shows you care about yourself and the feelings and wellbeing of others. When we are optimistic we expect the best and we maintain a positive outlook. We are creative when we produce something using our talents and imagination.

At Roslyn Primary School we aim high, reaching for the stars, in every aspect of school life. Our motto is ‘Roslyn Rockets – Rocketing to Success’ which reflects our aim for us – staff, students and families - to be aspirational in all that we do.

Our students are provided with opportunities to develop personal qualities and attitudes that will teach them how to build positive relationships and face the challenges of the future with confidence, compassion and respect. They learn how to be decisions makers, problem solvers and strong communicators. All students learn how to be leaders and how to work in a team. Students are inspired to be self-motivated learners - working from individualised learning goals in reading, writing, maths and inquiry so that learning can target their needs.

Our Teaching and Learning program reflects the belief that 'thinking' is the foundation of all learning and within a rapidly changing world students need to have greater thinking and problem-solving abilities, to be more self-motivated than ever before. We teach students a variety of cognitive thinking processes and strategies that will help equip them with the skills to navigate through an information rich future.

Our Curriculum is based on ‘The Victorian Curriculum’ using an Inquiry Learning approach, with a strong focus on learning through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths). The use of an Inquiry approach to learning, with a focus on STEAM, helps us provide personalised and authentic learning and promote the ability to learn and understand within a global context, and it enables learning experiences to be broadened and deepened. Students actively make observations, collect, analyse, and synthesise information, and draw conclusions, developing useful problem-solving skills to adapt to future ‘need to know’ situations. They develop habits of mind that can last a lifetime and guide learning and creative thinking.

Our school has a strong sense of community and understands that the school experience is not just for the students but the whole family. We value and encourage parents to be actively involved in a wide variety of forums. Families are our students’ first teachers and when we work together we can reach for the stars!
