Our local community utilise these school facilities outside of school hours. We outsource a before and after school care program that also offers curriculum day and vacation care.





The vision for Ashley Park Primary School is to be `all we can be`; a collaborative school community formed through strong partnerships that contribute to the engagement, wellbeing and achievement of all students. Our mission is to provide a comprehensive education that empowers our students to contribute to their world, shape their desired future and develop the understandings, skills, capabilities and dispositions that will enable them to be the best they can be.

Our school values are:- Be kind. Be ambitious. Be responsible. Be all we can be.

The school will be organised into seven learning communities in 2027- Foundation, Junior 1, Junior 2, Middle 3, Middle 4, Senior 5 and Senior 6. Our teachers work in collaborative teams to plan, implement and evaluate a highly effective literacy, numeracy and inquiry focussed, teaching and learning program for the cohort of learners in their learning community. Each community teacher has a group of students for which they are the contact teacher for parents and families. They also begin and end the day with this group while working with many students across the cohort utilising our like needs groupings approach, throughout the school day.

This is a fabulous opportunity to work in a 21st century learning environment that places the student at the centre,



the family at the fore and capitalises on the creativity and expertise of the teaching and education support staff to realise the potential of all.
