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.
Our biennial Winthrop Celebrates concert will be held on the the 4th December. All year levels participate in the performances. We encourage parents to come along from 6pm and bring a picnic. Performances commence from 6:30pm.

Hello Everyone,
This morning we shared a beautiful music assembly in our Yarning Area. It was lovely to have our Kamberang Kids (Pre-primary students) with us today at their 2nd ever school assembly. Many thanks to the Year 5 band and choir for their performances and also to each and every student who joined into our school song with gusto.
As you know, over the past few weeks we have shared some wonderful community events, including our fabulous open night and staff appreciation morning tea. I would like to reiterate the thanks of staff to community for their attendance and support of both events.
Our children have been engaged in a range of enriched learning opportunities including representation at the MDISSA interschool carnival on Monday. Team Winthrop PS performed superbly at this event and demonstrated commendable sportsmanship with each of them trying their absolute best on the track and field. Congratulations to Mr Peters, support staff and of course our team of students for the outstanding way they represented our school.
Today at assembly, the choir gave us a sample of their repertoire by singing what will be the first song of the Massed Choir event which will be performed tomorrow evening. The choir, under the direction of Mrs Campbell, will be singing with 500 students from a range of public schools on stage at HBF Stadium. This is an exciting event where Winthrop Primary School is represented by our big choir together with our selected vocal soloist. We wish our choir all the very best and hope they have a fabulous time meeting new friends and connecting through the power of song.
To our families who celebrate Diwali, the Winthrop Primary School community wishes you and your family happiness, prosperity and joy.
In closing, should you be organising your calendars at this very busy time of year, be advised that the annual open school board meeting will be held on November 28th, commencing at 4.30 pm in the staff room. Members of the community are welcome to observe the meeting to learn a bit more about the board’s role in the governance of our school.
Kind regards,
Karina
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.
