Welcome to Augusta Park Primary School
Augusta Park
Primary School is committed to developing strong working relationships
with the community in order to support the engagement of all students in
learning.
Staff work together to provide relevant curriculum, with a strong
emphasis on
achievement in literacy, numeracy, Information Technology (IT) and
science.
The school bases its approach to teaching and learning on the 'Circle of
Courage'.
This framework is based on the needs of children to belong to a
community of learners,
to master the skills essential for individual and collective success, to
develop independence and responsibility, and to exercise generosity
towards others. The Aboriginal education team works closely with the
school counsellor and other community service providers to assist staff
in supporting student wellbeing.
The school has developed a student database and a targeted
intervention program
that assist in accelerating the literacy skills of students identified
as achieving below
the national benchmark. All students engage in specialist teaching
programs in PE
and IT, as well as cultural studies, where the emphasis is on local
Aboriginal cultures
and languages, and dance.
