Our Staff

Through our work with Inclusion Outreach Coach, Judi Milano, our school community came together to develop our Vision of Inclusion.

At Powlett River Primary school we embrace individuality, foster kindness, and respect, promote acceptance and safety to create an accessible learning environment. We cultivate a culture of continuous learning and success. We are a supportive community where everyone belongs, feels valued, included, and empowered to achieve their full potential.

Powlett River Primary School implements evidence-based programs and practice in both Mathematics and English. We teach reading based on the Science of Reading. From this we use the Simple View of Reading and Scarboughs Reading Rope in planning and teaching reading. Sounds-Write and UFLI are used in teaching phonics, a systematic structured phonics is essential in early reading. The Big Ideas of Maths are explicitly taught with opportunities for practice through problem-solving tasks each week. The school is starting its journey with Talk for Writing to increase student writing skills, as well as using the Syntax Project to support writing development.
