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.
Yesterday all the Year 3 classes went to discover the journey of dairy products from the farm to the factory at the Balcatta Browne's Factory. They got to see robotic machinery, taste test yoghurt flavours in the Science lab and most of them got to milk a cow too. It was great to see the milk production on the factory floor.
Is your child in Year 4 in 2025?
Are they interested in music?
Come along to our Year 5 Band information session to learn about the instrumental lessons and band performances throughout the year, the difference between the Winthrop Band program and strings (IMSS) program, which instruments are involved and how these are allocated, fees and private lesson costs, the commitment required from band members and more.
If you would like to attend, please let the office know by Monday 21st November
If you have queries about the selective IMSS string program (guitar and double bass), also available in Year 5, please visit www.education.wa.edu.au/instrumental-music for information and contact Mrs Campbell to express interest in being considered.
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.
