At Footscray Primary School School, we offer an inquiry-based curriculum through the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (PYP). Through the PYP, we endeavour to provide opportunities for our students to develop understandings of essential concepts, skills, knowledge and attitudes that will enable them to be life-long learners in our ever changing world. Footscray Primary School's central purpose is Learning for Living. We aim for our students to develop confidence in their own abilities, think for themselves, question, express their opinions and respect the opinions of others. The PYP is focused on developing international mindedness, understanding and respect. We value the development of the whole child in all areas of learning. The students are supported and nurtured in their social and emotional development as well as in their creative, linguistic, sporting and academic programs. We place a strong emphasis on how students learn as well as what they learn. Students learn to reflect on their learning, becoming critical thinkers and develop an ability to take action. Our program is designed to prepare our students to become active, caring and thinking participants of a peaceful and sustainable future. We have engaged Kath Murdoch who is working with our teachers to support our professional learning with a strong focus with deepening our understanding of inquiry and support us to achieve the goals of the P.Y.P Implementation plan. We believe our students learn best when they are actively involved in authentic learning engagements across all the curriculum areas. We want our students to be happy and engaged learners, who are eager to come to school, and to interact with friends and teachers from all around the world.

"Noble Park Primary School is a school that reaches out to its community and endeavours to include students and families in the life of the school. Being just a school is not enough these days, so, while our immediate focus is on learning, we believe that we need to have a community focus to ensure that we are maximising all available resources to improve the education for our children.
