Ár bhFoghlaim
Bunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough
I mBunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough tá ár gcuid mac léinn ag a lár i ndearadh ár ndeiseanna teagaisc agus foghlama go léir. Is mian linn go mbainfidh gach mac léinn amach agus fás mar fhoghlaimeoirí, agus a gcúrsa féin a ghiniúint don fhoghlaim ar feadh an tsaoil. Teastaíonn uainn go dtabharfar de chumhacht dár gcuid mac léinn úinéireacht a ghlacadh ar a gcuid foghlama, ranníocaíochtaí feidhmiúla a dhéanamh lena dtimpeallachtaí foghlama, agus dul i ngleic le saincheisteanna a thagann chun cinn sa domhan timpeall orthu.
Aithníonn ár scoil ról lárnach múinteoirí. Bítear ag súil go bhforbróidh siad cláir foghlama tarraingteacha dúshlánacha agus na coinníollacha is fearr a chruthú d’fhoghlaim mac léinn, lena n-áirítear tacú le tuismitheoirí mar chéad oideachasóirí agus mar chomhpháirtithe san oideachas.
Samhlaíonn siad foghlaim ar feadh an tsaoil de réir mar a thógann siad machnamh agus leibhéil dhomhain smaointeoireachta ina gcleachtas agus tugann siad dúshlán dóibh féin agus dá gcuid mac léinn eolas nua a chomh-thógáil agus a chur i bhfeidhm.
CÉN FÁTH
TEAGMHÁIL LEIS
At Keysborough Gardens Primary School we aim to develop life long learners who care for themselves, others and the community around them and actively contribute to a more sustainable and peaceful world.
Our vision is to ensure that every child is equipped with the knowledge, skills and capabilities necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing and globally connected world.
Go luath tar éis do Bhunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough a doirse a oscailt i mí Eanáir 2020, tháinig an creat PYP agus an cur chuige oideolaíoch i leith an chláir teagaisc agus foghlama mar chuid lárnach den phleanáil agus den teagasc. Le Ceannairí agus roinnt ball foirne a bhfuil an-taithí acu ar an PYP, cuireadh tús le hiarratas chun bheith ina scoil iarrthóra ** do Chlár Blianta Bunscoile an Bhaitsiléara Idirnáisiúnta (IB) go gairid tar éis é a oscailt - ach cuireadh moill air mar gheall ar chúiseanna a bhain le Covid-19. Athchromadh ar an bpróiseas seo i 2021, agus glacadh go hoifigiúil leis an scoil mar scoil iarrthóra IB PYP i Meitheamh 2021.
Tá comhfhealsúnacht ag Scoileanna Domhanda IB - tiomantas chun teagasc agus foghlaim phobal mac léinn éagsúil agus uilechuimsitheach a fheabhsú trí chláir dhúshlánacha ardcháilíochta oideachais idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar a bhfuil fís chumhachtach acu. **
Cad é Clár na mBunscoileanna IB?
Díríonn an PYP ar fhorbairt an linbh iomláin mar fhiosraitheoir, sa seomra ranga agus ar domhan lasmuigh. Is creat é atá treoraithe ag sé théama trasdhisciplíneacha a bhfuil tábhacht dhomhanda leo, a ndéantar iniúchadh orthu ag úsáid an eolais agus na scileanna a dhíorthaítear ó 6 réimse ábhair (matamaitic, teanga, ealaíona, staidéir shóisialta, eolaíocht agus oideachas pearsanta, sóisialta agus fisiceach) chomh maith le scileanna trasdhisciplíneacha, le béim chumhachtach ar fhiosrú.
Tá an PYP solúbtha go leor chun freastal ar riachtanais an Churaclaim Victeoiriach .
Clár Blianta Bunscoile IB:
Pléann sé folláine acadúil, shóisialta agus mhothúchánach na mac léinn
spreagann sé mic léinn chun neamhspleáchas a fhorbairt agus freagracht a ghlacadh as a gcuid foghlama féin
tacaíonn sé le hiarrachtaí na mac léinn tuiscint a fháil ar an domhan agus feidhmiú go compordach ann
cuidíonn sé le mic léinn luachanna pearsanta a bhunú mar bhunús ar a dtiocfaidh forbairt agus rath ar mheon idirnáisiúnta.
Is iad na gnéithe is suntasaí agus is sainiúla de Chlár Blianta Bunscoile IB na sé théama trasdhisciplíneacha. Tugann na téamaí seo an deis do Scoileanna Domhanda IB saincheisteanna áitiúla agus domhanda a ionchorprú sa churaclam agus tugann siad deis do mhic léinn “céim suas” a dhéanamh níos faide ná na teorainneacha foghlama laistigh de réimsí ábhair.

Cuidíonn na téamaí trasdhisciplíneacha seo le múinteoirí clár fiosrúcháin a fhorbairt - imscrúduithe ar smaointe tábhachtacha, a shainaithníonn an scoil agus a éilíonn leibhéal ard rannpháirtíochta ag na mic léinn.
Ó tharla go mbaineann na smaointe seo leis an domhan taobh amuigh den scoil, feiceann mic léinn a n-ábharthacht agus nascann siad leis ar bhealach tarraingteach dúshlánach. Tosaíonn mic léinn a fhoghlaimíonn ar an mbealach seo ag machnamh ar a róil agus a bhfreagrachtaí mar fhoghlaimeoirí agus bíonn baint ghníomhach acu lena gcuid oideachais.

TEAGMHÁIL LEIS
Our students learn in a supportive and personalised school environment with access to a full and outstanding range of programs across all areas of the Victorian Curriculum.
As an International Baccalaureate school, we use the PYP (Primary Years Programme) as a framework to guide and plan our teaching and learning. There is a strong focus on English, Mathematics and Science as well as developing higher order thinking skills, technology skills and creativity.
Our students benefit from a full range of specialist programs including Visual Arts, Performing Arts, STEM, Physical Education and Chinese Mandarin. A range of extra-curricular activities are provided including school band, choirs, excursions, incursions and a wide range of lunchtime clubs.
IB PYP and Inquiry
(International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme)
In 2024 Keysborough Gardens Primary School proudly became an authorised International Baccalaureate (IB) World school, offering the Primary Years Programme. IB schools share a common philosophy - a commitment to high quality, challenging international education.
Each year level inquires into each of the following six Transdiciplinary Themes:

These Transdisciplinary Themes help teachers develop a program of inquiries - investigations into important ideas, identified by the school and requiring high level of involvement on the part of the students.
These ideas relate to the world beyond the school and are an opportunity to incorporate local and global issues into the curriculum. As a result, students see the relevance of ideas and connect with them in an engaging and challenging way.
Students who learn in this way begin to reflect on their roles and responsibilities as learners and become actively involved in their education.
Other PYP language you will hear around our school is:
Specified Concepts
big ideas used to give direction to the learning in a unit
Learner Profile
Approaches to Learning
a list of attributes we endeavour to foster in our students
skills that students develop and apply across all learning areas
The PYP is flexible enough to accommodate the requirements of the Victorian Curriculum.

The Curriculum
English
Systematic Synthetic Phonics is an evidence-based, structured approach to teach children to read. This method of reading helps children learn the relationships between sounds (phonemes) of spoken language and the letter symbols (graphemes) of the written language. Students have numerous opportunities to use their language skills to pursue personal interests in Social Sciences, Visual and Performing Arts, Literature, Technology, The Sciences, Mathematics and Additional Languages. Technology such as interactive whiteboards, iPads and computers complement and enhance our language programmes.
Mathematics
Mathematics is undertaken on a daily basis with focused sessions for the development of skills and knowledge in Number, Algebra, Measurement, Space, Statistics and Probability. The proficiency strands are developed through the hands-on application of mathematics skills and understandings using real life problem solving contexts with students collaborating in mixed ability groups.
EAL
English as an Additional Language (EAL) KGPS has a high number of students from an EAL background and explicit modelling of literacy and language skills are implemented. Students that are of an EAL background are assessed against the English as an Additional Language continuum which ensures that every student is catered for and their needs managed.
The Capabilities
The Victorian Curriculum F-10 includes four capabilities, which are a set of discrete knowledge and skills that can and should be taught explicitly in and through the learning areas. The capabilities are: -Critical and Creative Thinking -Ethical Capability -Intercultural Capability -Personal and Social Capability At KGPS we want our students to develop critical thinking skills where they understand thinking processes, and have the ability to manage and apply these in a variety of familiar and unfamiliar situations.
Science
The Science curriculum provides students with understanding, knowledge and skills through which they can develop a scientific view of the world. Students are challenged to explore science, its concepts, nature and uses through clearly described inquiry processes. Science at KGPS is taught through inquiry into the PYP Transdisciplinary themes and explicitly where required.
Wellbeing
.jpg)
The social, emotional and physical wellbeing of our students is vitally important. Students who are happy, healthy and resilient are better able to deal positively with life's challenges. Building and enhancing the students social and emotional wellbeing is an important aspect of our daily school activities. Our school values are explicitly taught through our 'Keysie Kids are Global Kids' positive behaviour framework.
Koorie Cultural Inclusion
We acknowledge and pay respect to Elders and all Victorian Aboriginal communities. We honour and respect Traditional Custodians, past and present, and value the rich culture and history of the First Peoples of this land. We aspire for success for every Koorie child in education, achieving their developmental potential and their ambitions for life. Throughout our school community, we celebrate the rich and thriving culture, knowledge and experience of our First Nations peoples to ensure that Koorie children and learners of all ages feel strong in their identity and achieve their learning aspirations.
Specialist Programs
Performing Arts
Performing Arts
Students are encouraged to be risk takers by expressing their creative ideas through dance, music and drama. Activities include whole class ensemble activities, working in small groups or with a partner. There is a strong emphasis on performing to an audience and providing feedback to the performers from peers.
Physical Education
Physical Education
From Foundation - Year 2, our program's focus is on building fundamental movement skills required to be competent in a range of physical activities. The competencies of throwing, agility, jumping, catching, hitting, balance and coordination are promoted through fun-based games and practices that build engagement and participation.
As well as continued skill development, in Years 3-6 lessons become more sport-specific with students learning game rules, tactics and strategies. A great weight is also placed on teamwork and leadership. Students demonstrate their sportsmanship at regular school sporting events and inter-school sport in Year 6.
Visual Art
STEAM
Our Visual Art program program is designed to spark creativity, provide opportunities for self-expression and foster open-mindedness as students study works by various significant artists. Students from Foundation to Year 6 explore many different art techniques using a wide range of mediums.
Student artwork is viewed and celebrated at Student-Led Conferences and our annual art show. At their graduation ceremony, each Year 6 graduating class reveals their 'legacy project' - a collaborative art installation that represents the mark they leave on our school.
Mandarin
Mandarin
Students are supported to be knowledgeable communicators through learning Mandarin Chinese. They learn to socialise, inform, create, translate, and inform in Chinese. Students explore Chinese vocabulary and sentence structures relevant to daily life, such as greetings and foods, through listening, speaking and writing in the language.
Students are supported to develop their intercultural capability. They investigate the influence of culture in shaping identity, heritage, values and beliefs. Encouraged to be open to new experiences and perspectives, students develop respect for diversity and difference.
STEM
STEM
In our STEM program, students from Foundation to Year 6 engage with an interdisciplinary curriculum that blends Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Through hands-on experiments, design projects and digital creation, students learn to solve real-world problems with ingenuity and critical thinking. Through collaboration and reflective learning, our program empowers students with the 21st Century skills necessary to excel and innovate in the STEM field.

MÚINTEOIR
Tá cur chuige comhoibritheach ag Bunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough maidir le pleanáil agus teagasc.
Cé go bhfuil múinteoirí ranga cuntasach as na mic léinn ar a ngrád, tá freagracht chomhroinnte ar gach múinteoir as na mic léinn ar a leibhéal. Oibríonn múinteoirí i mBunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough i spásanna solúbtha teagaisc, a thacaíonn le raon cineálacha cur chuige teagaisc foirne.
Tá scileanna agus tuiscintí Béarla agus matamaitice nasctha, nuair is féidir, lenár n-aonaid fhiosrúcháin ag cur ar chumas leanaí agus múinteoirí naisc a dhéanamh idir agus ar fud gach duine réimsí foghlama.
Eagraítear mic léinn i gceithre phobal foghlama bunaithe ar leibhéil bliana a fhreagraíonn do bhandaí scolaíochta an Churaclaim Victeoiriach: Prep; 1 & 2; 3 & 4; 5 & 6.
Oibríonn múinteoirí i bhfoirne comhoibríocha, ‘pobal foghlama gairmiúla’ chun clár difreáilte teagaisc agus foghlama a phleanáil agus a chur i bhfeidhm a fhreastalaíonn ar riachtanais foghlama aonair gach mac léinn a oibríonn ag pointí éagsúla ar feadh an chontanam foghlama.
Tá ár gclár teagaisc agus foghlama struchtúrtha le béim láidir ar fhorbairt mac léinn ard-liteartha, uimhriúla agus fiosracha.
Béarla
Creidimid gur chóir teanga a theagasc i gcomhthéacs agus aghaidh a thabhairt ar raon leathan réimsí mar léamh, scríobh, amharc, cur i láthair do lucht féachana, cumarsáid neamhlabhartha, agus labhairt agus éisteacht. Tá go leor deiseanna ag mic léinn a gcuid scileanna teanga a úsáid chun leasanna pearsanta sna hEolaíochtaí Sóisialta, sna hAmharcealaíona agus sna Taibh-ealaíona, Litríocht, Teicneolaíocht, Na hEolaíochtaí, Matamaitic agus Teangacha Breise a shaothrú. Comhlánaíonn agus feabhsaíonn teicneolaíocht mar chláir bhána idirghníomhacha, iPadanna agus ríomhairí cláir teanga.
Tugtar faoi mhatamaitic ar bhonn laethúil le seisiúin fhócasaithe d’fhorbairt scileanna agus eolais in Uimhir agus Ailgéabar, Tomhas agus Céimseata agus Staitisticí agus Dóchúlacht, a chuirtear i bhfeidhm le mic léinn i ngrúpaí riachtanas céanna.
Forbraítear na snáitheanna inniúlachta trí scileanna agus tuiscintí matamaitice a chur i bhfeidhm go praiticiúil ag baint úsáide as comhthéacsanna réiteach fadhbanna fíor-saoil le mic léinn ag comhoibriú i ngrúpaí cumais mheasctha.
Leis an mbéim ar réiteach fadhbanna agus ar fhoghlaim fiosrúcháin-bhunaithe ag Keysborough Gardens PS, tá sé tábhachtach cultúr smaointeoireachta a fhorbairt i ngach seomra ranga. Déanaimid é seo trí roinnt uirlisí smaointeoireachta a shamhaltú. I measc na samplaí díobh tá: KWL (Cad atá ar eolas agat? Cad ba mhaith leat a fháil amach? Cad a d'fhoghlaim tú?), Ransú smaointe, ag brú ar mhic léinn fianaise a sholáthar ar a gcuid smaointeoireachta agus réasúnaíocht a dhéanamh trí 'Cén fáth?' ‘Cad a thugann ort é sin a rá?”, Argóintí nó díospóireachtaí sa seomra ranga, dialanna foghlama, teicnící ceistiúcháin nó patrúin úsáidtear arís agus arís eile.
An Clár um Fheabhsú Foghlama
Comhlánaíonn an Clár um Fheabhsú Foghlama an clár seomra ranga. Díríonn an clár ar ghrúpaí mac léinn a bhfuil riachtanais acadúla chomhchosúla acu. Aithnítear na mic léinn trí éagsúlacht sonraí a bhailítear lena n-áirítear NAPLAN agus breithiúnas múinteoirí.
D’fhéadfadh gurb iad na mic léinn sin iad siúd atá ag obair faoi bhun, ag nó os cionn na leibhéal a bhfuil súil leo.
Is féidir fad an chláir a chinneadh de réir dul chun cinn na mac léinn, ach go ginearálta ritheann an clár idir 4 agus 10 seachtaine. Ritheann an seisiún ar feadh thart ar 30 nóiméad, 1-3 huaire sa tseachtain, agus é mar aidhm spriocanna foghlama sa seomra ranga a threisiú, a athbhreithniú nó a leathnú.
Le linn bliana acadúla, oibríonn an clár ar gach leibhéal, ag díriú ar an oiread mac léinn KGPS agus is féidir.
Riachtanais Aonair
Freastalaíonn múinteoirí ar riachtanais aonair gach linbh sa seomra ranga trí dhifreáil a úsáid go cúramach. Tá na múinteoirí ag KGPS ardoilte i freastal ar riachtanais foghlama gach mac léinn lena n-áirítear iad siúd atá ag obair 6, 12 mhí nó níos mó os cionn nó faoi bhun an leibhéil ghnóthachtála a bhfuil súil leis.
Scríobhtar pleananna Foghlama Aonair dóibh siúd go léir atá ag obair 12 mhí faoi bhun, 18 mí os cionn an leibhéil ghnóthachtála a bhfuil súil leis. Tá baint ag mic léinn le socrú spriocanna agus le machnamh ar na héachtaí.
Cuirtear tacaíocht ar fáil do mhic léinn atá ag obair faoi bhun an leibhéil ionchais ar na bealaí seo a leanas:
Cruinnithe rialta tuismitheoirí / múinteoirí
Clár / obair bhaile modhnaithe más gá
Cúnamh duine le duine sa seomra ranga
Tacaíocht agus comhairle ó mhúinteoir an Chláir um Fheabhsú Foghlama
Grúpaí difreáilte foghlama dírithe ar spriocanna foghlama ar leith
Soláthraíonn ár gclár speisialtóra treoir fhócasaithe sna réimsí agus sna cumais foghlama seo a leanas:
Réimsí foghlama
(Sláinte &) Corpoideachas
Na hEalaíona Taibhithe
Na hAmharcealaíona
Teangacha - Sínis
(STEM) - de réir mar a leathnaíonn an scoil
Tá úsáid Teicneolaíochtaí Faisnéise agus Cumarsáide (TFC) comhtháite ar fud an churaclaim.
Folláine
Neartaíonn Bunscoil Gairdíní Keysborough folláine na mac léinn i ngach eispéireas foghlama trí thimpeallacht oideachais agus curaclam a chruthú atá uilechuimsitheach agus brí do gach mac léinn. Ionchorpraítear saincheisteanna pearsanta agus sóisialta na mac léinn ina n-eispéiris foghlama laethúla agus soláthraítear curaclam solúbtha, ábhartha, uilechuimsitheach agus iomchuí mar fhreagairt orthu.
Cuirtear seisiún seachtainiúil ‘aireachas’ folláine san áireamh i gclár ama na scoile iomláine ionas gur féidir luachanna na scoile agus ionchais iompraíochta a theagasc go sainráite, agus is féidir folláine shóisialta agus mhothúchánach a chothú in éineacht le caidrimh dhearfacha a fhorbairt.
Úsáidtear na hábhair foghlama athléimneacht, cearta agus Caidrimh Urramach chun a chinntiú go bhforbraíonn mic léinn na scileanna caidrimh shóisialta, mhothúchánacha agus dearfacha riachtanacha a chumhachtú iad agus a choinníonn sábháilte iad. Tugann na seisiúin seo deis freisin do chláir thras-aoise agus do chairdeas caidrimh dhearfacha a chothú agus mothú pobail a thógáil, ag cur le folláine agus rannpháirtíocht daoine aonair agus folláine na scoile ina hiomláine.
* Ní féidir ach le scoileanna atá údaraithe ag an mBacáiste Idirnáisiúnta aon cheann dá cheithre chlár acadúla a thairiscint: Clár na mBunscoileanna (PYP), Clár na Meánbhliana (MYP), an Clár Dioplóma nó an Clár a bhaineann le Gairme (CP). Ní thugann stádas iarrthóra aon ráthaíocht go ndeonófar údarú.
Individual Needs
At Keysborough Primary School, teachers are highly skilled in catering to each child’s individual learning needs through careful differentiation and responsive teaching. This ensures all students receive the appropriate support and challenges to help them thrive.
Individual Education Plans (IEPs) are developed for students with specific learning needs, setting measurable and timely goals. These plans are created with input from both students and parents/carers to ensure a collaborative approach to the child’s progress.
Other student support approaches include:
-
Regular parent/teacher/student meetings
-
Modified programs and homework, as needed
-
One-on-one assistance in the classroom
-
Guidance from the Learning Enhancement Program teacher and/or allied health providers
-
Differentiated learning groups focused on targeted learning goals
-
Adjustments to the learning environment, tasks, or resources to ensure an inclusive approach
Student Voice
At Keysborough Gardens Primary School, we believe in empowering students through voice, agency and leadership.
Across the school, students contribute to the curriculum through an effective and authentic process of planning, feedback and deep reflection.
This enables students to make decisions about what and how they learn and actively contribute to the planning of their own learning, promoting meaningful student involvement.
Learning Enhancement
Program
The Learning Enhancement Program complements the classroom program. It targets groups of students with similar academic needs. Students are identified through a variety of collected data, including NAPLAN and teacher judgement.
These students may be working below, at or above expected levels. The length of the program can be determined by student progress, however the program generally runs for between 4 and 10 weeks.
Sessions run for approximately 30 minutes, 1-3 times a week, with the aim to reinforce, revise or extend on classroom learning goals. Over the course of an academic year, the program works across all levels, targeting as many KGPS students as possible.

RATHA
Tá anailís sonraí agus gnóthachan foghlama mac léinn mar bhunús dár gcruinnithe agus dár gcomhráite Foirne Foghlama Gairmiúla.
Déantar fianaise ar fhás, ar dhul chun cinn agus ar ghnóthachtáil na mac léinn a athbhreithniú agus a úsáid chun cleachtas éifeachtach teagaisc a mheas agus chun na riachtanais foghlama leanúnacha a chinneadh
Bunaithe ar an bhfianaise agus ar an bhfianaise seo a bhailigh siad féin déanann ár gcuid mac léinn athbhreithniú agus machnamh ar a gcuspóirí aonair agus leag siad cinn nua a spreagann a bhfócas don chéad timthriall foghlama eile sa réimse sin.
TACAÍOCHT TUAIRISCIÚ
Do mhic léinn: Tugtar aiseolas faoin bhfoghlaim reatha agus faoi réimsí le haghaidh foghlama amach anseo ar bhealach tráthúil leanúnach do gach réimse foghlama agus forbartha. Tugtar an deis do mhic léinn machnamh a dhéanamh ar a gcuspóirí aonair, fianaise a bhailiú chun gnóthachtáil a fhionnadh agus cinn nua a leagan síos chun foghlaim sa todhchaí a bhrú chun cinn.
Maidir leis an bhfoireann: Úsáidtear sonraí neamhfhoirmiúla agus foirmiúla chun bonn eolais a chur faoi phleanáil agus theagasc ar bhonn gearrthéarmach agus fadtéarmach. Soláthraíonn sonraí treochta faisnéis ábhartha freisin faoi thuras feabhsúcháin leanúnach na scoile. Tá baint ag mic léinn freisin le haiseolas a sholáthar do mhúinteoirí.
Do thuismitheoirí: Cuirtear tuarascáil achomair i scríbhinn ar fáil do thuismitheoirí gach seimeastair a chuimsíonn breithiúnais múinteoirí i gcoinne na gCaighdeán Curaclaim Victeoiriach sna réimsí foghlama agus sna cumais a bhí mar chuid den chlár teagaisc agus foghlama don seimeastar sin.
Soláthraíonn múinteoirí faisnéis freisin faoi rannpháirtíocht agus folláine an mhic léinn ionas go mbeidh tuismitheoirí ar an eolas go hiomlán maidir le foghlaim agus forbairt an linbh iomláin.
Ní hionann Comhdhálacha faoi stiúir na Mac Léinn agus na hagallaimh tuismitheoirí-mhúinteora faoi threoir an mhúinteora, sa mhéid is gurb é an mac léinn an t-ionad ag an ionad, a bhfuil baint ghníomhach aige leis an bpróiseas foghlama agus tuairiscithe.
Bíonn Comhdhálacha faoi stiúir na Mac Léinn i bhfoirm comhrá go príomha idir an mac léinn agus a thuismitheoirí leis an múinteoir a bhíonn i gceist uaireanta le linn na comhdhála.
I measc na buntáistí a bhaineann leis na comhdhálacha seo tá:
Glacann mic léinn freagracht as a gcuid foghlama féin trína gcuspóirí foghlama agus a ndul chun cinn a mhíniú
Forbairt na comhpháirtíochta baile-scoile trí thuismitheoirí, mhic léinn agus mhúinteoirí ag ceiliúradh rath na mac léinn le chéile
Forbairt scileanna fíor-saoil agus tréithe pearsanta trí chumarsáid, féinmheastóireacht agus machnamh, eagrú agus féinmhuinín.
REPORTING ACHIEVEMENT
TO STUDENTS
Feedback is given regularly by their teachers. Students are provided the opportunity to reflect on their individual goals, gather evidence to ascertain achievement and set new ones to drive future learning.
TO STAFF
Both informal and formal data is used to inform planning and teaching on both a short and longer-term basis. Students are also involved in providing feedback to teachers.
Written reports
Each semester parents/carers are provided with a written summary report that includes teacher judgements against the Victorian Curriculum Standards in the learning areas and capabilities that have been part of the teaching and learning program for that semester.
Teachers also provide information about the student’s engagement and wellbeing so parents are fully informed in relation to the learning and development of the whole child.
TO FAMILIES
Student Led Conferences differ from the teacher-directed parent teacher interviews, in that the student is the one at the centre, actively involved in the learning and the reporting process. They take the form of a conversation primarily between the student and their parents with the teacher involved at times during the conference.
The benefits of these conferences include:
-
Students take responsibility for their own learning by explaining their learning goals and their progress
-
The development of the home-school partnership; parents, students and teachers celebrating student’s success together
-

At Keysborough Gardens Primary, we believe that camps play a vital role in the personal and social development of our students. Camps provide unique opportunities for children to develop independence, build self-esteem, strengthen relationships and work together as a team. Through a range of activities, students challenge themselves, explore new environments and create lasting memories with peers.
Year 2 Sleepover
Our camping program begins in Year 2 with an exciting sleepover at school. This one-night experience is designed to build confidence and independence by easing students into being away from home in a familiar and supportive environment. The Year 2 sleepover gives students a fun-filled evening of activities, games and a shared meal with friends and is a great first step in our broader camping program.
Year 3-6 Adventure Camps
From Year 3 to 6, our students take part in a two-night adventure camp. Each camp offers a variety of outdoor activities that encourage students to push their boundaries, whether it's hiking, team-building challenges or water-based activities. These camps help students develop resilience, problem-solving skills and strengthen the bonds between classmates. Our adventure camps are key to fostering a sense of responsibility, teamwork and a love for the outdoors.
