Our School

 A very warm welcome to Keelonith Primary School a mainstream government school located in Melbourne’s north, established in 2021 which proudly serves a growing and diverse community. As a Supported Inclusion School (SIS), we provide quality education to all students within our local zone and can enrol up to 10% of students from outside the zone with a diagnosed intellectual disability. We are not a special school—we are an inclusive learning community where every child is supported to reach their full potential. We believe success looks different for everyone and are committed to creating an environment that empowers all learners to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives. At KPS, learning has no limits, and we set high expectations for every student. For full details, please refer to our enrolment policy

We are guided by the Science of Learning and deliver evidence-based, explicit instruction. Our teaching is designed to build strong foundations in knowledge, skills, and confidence, and to remove barriers so that every student can thrive. Our recent NAPLAN results demonstrate that our teaching practices are meeting the needs of all of our learners and are enabling them to achieve and grow at a positive rate.

Vision:

For every learner to have every opportunity to lead a successful and fulfilling life.

Our school has impeccable facilities. Our learning spaces provide flexible options for our students and teachers to learn and work in everyday. We have flexible furniture and seating options allowing for many configurations and spaces to be created and providing our students with the choice of working at a stand-up desk, sitting at a table with a chair or using a wobble stool or cushion to provide some movement while working, or using one of our flexi desks to sit on the floor or one of the bench seats.

Physical Education classes can happen rain, hail or shine in our competition grade gym. Performing Arts has a stunning space with a full length mirror for the students to see themselves performing and bifold doors which open to the outdoor performance space.

Visual Arts and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) both have versatile spaces within the Learning Communities while our Library is located in the Admin building.

Our outdoor spaces are vast and provide a range of activities for the students to engage in at break times including two full size outdoor basketball courts, a grassed sports ground, two play grounds protected by shade sails, a sandpit, shaded picnic areas and of course the popular PlayPod.
