PHILOSOPHY 

At Fitzroy North Primary School, our practice is underpinned by our beliefs about educating the whole child. By allowing students the opportunity to express themselves socially, intellectually, creatively and physically in a manner that honours their own personal learning style, their learning journey becomes a reflection of their uniqueness. 

 Our children are at the centre of everything we do. We strive to develop creative, inquisitive and socially conscious individuals who question the world around them. We do this by delivering a rigorous and diverse teaching and learning program that involves experiential learning opportunities that foster deep inquiry, collaboration, exploration and play. We believe that these experiences provide opportunities for deep critical thinking skills to be explored and developed. 

 We understand that learning is a continuum and we meet and support each child at their point of individual need as they move along this continuum. We value risk taking and provide the scaffolds that allow students to feel supported as they work towards mastering new skills and understandings. 

 Our students contribute to the decision making at our school and their opinions are heard and valued. Through teacher and student led learning experiences, our children become co-constructors of their understanding of the world around them. 

 Through nurturing the wellbeing of each and every member of the Fitzroy North Primary School community, we celebrate inclusion and honour the rich diversity of our children, our staff and our community in all that we do.
