Principal’s Message


Andrew Buesnel

At Maribyrnong Primary School we have a whole child approach to learning and teaching which acknowledges and celebrates the important role that families and communities play in the education of our students. We provide a learning program from preschool to year 6 that caters for the whole child, celebrating difference and acknowledging that all children are individuals. Our school is a safe and happy place, where children are valued and nurtured. Our bright and stimulating open plan learning environments allow collaboration between students and staff where our values and passion for lifelong learning are clearly evident. Our preschool program incorporates the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and as students move into kindergarten and beyond, the Australian Curriculum is utilised to drive outcomes for teacher planning and student learning. Our collegial teaching teams plan together and deliver consistent programs which differentiate for individual student needs. Strong links to real life learning and experiences underpin our motivating and vibrant learning programs. A team approach underpins our ongoing desire to meet the learning needs of all students. We enjoy the benefit of strong relationships with the community around us. Parents and carers are welcome and encouraged to participate in school activities through volunteering in the canteen, assisting in the classroom, attending school excursions or camps, helping out in the library, nominating for a role on the School Board or joining community events through the P&C.

Kind Regards,
Andrew Buesnel
