Tinternvale Primary School Competitors

At Scotch College, we provide a holistic, values-based education that strives to prepare boys for fulfilling, meaningful lives of contribution. Our curriculum is underpinned by a character-based framework and, from Prep to Year 12, our boys are engaged in a breadth of programs that instil an outward-looking perspective and sense of purpose.

Yarra Valley Grammar overlooks the Yarra Valley and picturesque Dandenong Ranges. Our students excel under the guidance of great teachers who love what they do and seek to inspire them to strive for excellence. The School offers an extensive range of contemporary opportunities and sets high standards of performance, encouraging all students to achieve their personal best. Great teachers are able to vary the way they teach to suit the way each student learns. This takes patience, flexibility and the ability to see things from the students’ perspective. Yarra Valley Grammar’s team of teachers know their material, love their subjects and love to teach. They have a genuine interest in getting to know their students, so they can teach them effectively, encourage them to achieve their best, identify issues or problems, and care for their welfare. Yarra Valley Grammar’s broad curriculum is responsive to individual student needs, with extra opportunities for enrichment and support. Key Learning Areas include Art and Design, Business Studies, Design and Technology, English, Health and Physical Education, Humanities, ICT, Languages, Mathematics, Outdoor Education and Science. A unique aspect of Yarra Valley Grammar is its spacious grounds and extensive onsite playing fields, superior facilities for music, drama and dance within the School’s Performing Arts Centre and Music School and the School’s internationally acclaimed Hearing Unit has a high-tech facility onsite.

I am incredibly proud to be a member of the Chelsea Heights Primary School community. Our Family Centred school prides itself on our truly inclusive approach which ensures that we meet the individual needs of all students. Our point of difference is that we are a head and heart school which recognises that to learn successfully, your child must feel safe and supported. Our behaviour education program, Play is the Way, and our use of the zones of regulation curriculum create an atmosphere where our students develop social and emotional skills which assist them to cultivate effective and lasting relationships. Academically, our teachers deliver a differentiated program which is personalised to each students individual learning needs; enrichment, consolidation and intervention. A number of our year 5 & 6 students have been selected to participate in the Education Departments High Ability Program. Our Intervention and Nurture Programs, including a dedicated Sensory Space, are invaluable in providing a flexible and caring learning environment for students who need additional support. Being presented with the Outstanding Primary Principal Award at the 2018 Education Excellence Awards, was a recognition and celebration of the combined efforts of an amazing group of committed staff who are integral to the success of our school and its continued achievements. Our recent $4.5million major buildings and grounds upgrade includes 10 new classrooms and the development of an extensive nature play area.
