At Winthrop Primary School we live our school motto of learning and growing together. Our whole school pedagogy is built around this motto with a focus on continual growth and improvement in all aspects of our work.
We believe that children learn best when each and every one of them is valued, supported, connected and nurtured to develop a ‘can do’ attitude.
Our school understands and acknowledges that our values of Respect, Responsibility, Care and Achievement underpin
everything we do.
We care about and look after ourselves, other people and our environment.
Care
We show regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others because everyone has the right to be respected.
Respect
We are accountable and take responsibility for our own actions.
Responsibility
We know success is not always about simply achieving the goal but is also about the important learning you do along the way.
Achievement
Engage With Our School Community
Winthrop Primary School works in partnership with community to support all
students in becoming successful learners, confident and creative individuals and
active and informed citizens.
Thank you to those families who were able to attend our ANZAC service this morning.
We appreciated you joining us to recognise and honour the service men and women from both now and the past. We trust you had time to appreciate our field of poppies, inclusive of the work of every classroom P-6, on the school's front lawn.
As a part of our ANZAC commemorations, we have worked with community to share the stories of our families who have served our country through the Winthrop Primary School Honour E-Book. Please find link via the CONNECT notice shared today.
We sincerely thank the families who have contributed to the book. In sharing their history and taking the time and care to source photographs and artefacts they have enhanced our understanding of the experiences and sacrifices of people across the theatres of war and peace keeping which Australia has been engaged in. We have strived to make these relevant to our children through their connection to self and peers. Additionally, the book reminds us of the ongoing service of personnel who are currently in the Australian Defence Forces. It was so lovely that following today's service we met several families who told further information about their own or their family's incredible experiences during these times. We will be publishing this book as a hard copy and will display it in the front office of the school before adding it to our library collection.
We hope that you have time to view the book via the link above and have time to spend together tomorrow on Anzac Day in recognition of this significant national day.
We will remember them. Lest we forget.
So sorry to miss this year’s service but the photos look beautiful and I’m sure everyone did their best. The photo book is amazing. Well done Winthrop Primary School
Beautiful photos 😍♥️
Join us for our AGM on Monday 29th April from 7pm in the schools staff room. We have several positions open for nomination or you can just come along and find out more about how you can support our school.
As Winthropians we take responsibility for our actions and acknowledge our mistakes.
The best thing I like about my work are the 'lightbulb' moments when you see on a child's face that they understand something for the first time.
Everyone is kind, generous and friendly. Everyone fits in at Winthrop because you can make friends and be a good friend.
The best thing I like about my work is our connected community, the growth I see in my students and the humour shared working toward our goals.
The best thing I like about my work is seeing my students' 'get it,' whatever their personal 'it' is.
At Winthrop Primary School everyone belongs because we are good at sharing our cultures.
The thing I like best about my work is the opportunity to connect with the whole child to enable a love of learning, life and ongoing growth.
Learn and Grow Together.
