QUID EST
docemus
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:

_edited.jpg)
_edited.jpg)
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.

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.

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
-
The development of real-life skills such as communication, self-evaluation, reflection, organisation and self-confidence

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.
