Welcome to Garrang Wilam Primary School

Established in 2021 in Truganina, Garrang Wilam (pronounced: gar-rang wil-um) takes its name from the Woi-wurrung language spoken by the Wurundjeri people, meaning `Eucalyptus Home¿. Our logo represents elders and students focused together, inspiring our entire school community to `Dream Big¿.

Vision

Our students excel in a vibrant, positive, and connected community that we create together.

Mission

We invite all students to come and learn, to belong and work collaboratively in their pursuit of learning. Our people are invested in deliberate practice to create a community that truly makes a difference. Our community will develop over time through shared experiences and an aligned focus on what matters; learning.

Values

Respect for all cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs is central to developing engaged global citizens. Our students, staff, and families embody four core values:

- Together: Be a team player
- Focus: Be a learner
- Strength: Be courageous
- Lead: Be influential

Strategic Foundations

Our success stems from a unified, research-led foundation:

- School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS)
- High expectations for learning and conduct
- Evidence-based decision-making
- Inclusive support systems for all learners





Key Imperatives and Priorities

- Safety, culture, and community wellbeing
- Robust systems, efficient processes, and continuous capability building
- Excellence in student achievement and wellbeing
- Ongoing staff development, qualified growth, and staff wellbeing

Teaching and Learning

Our instructional framework is anchored by the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) model.

Our pedagogical approach is:

- Aligned with the Victorian Teaching and Learning Model (VTLM 2.0)
- Focused on teacher practice as the primary driver of student growth
- Continuous and improvement-focused, supporting teacher professional practice
- Adaptive across all learning areas and stages

Curriculum and Collaboration

To support academic excellence, our specialist subjects¿including STEM, The Arts (Visual and Performing), Auslan, and Physical Education¿enrich the core curriculum.

Our educators participate in structured, weekly Collaborative Planning Sessions. During this dedicated time, teams analyse cohort data, unpack the Victorian Curriculum, and design sequential, evidence-based learning sequences that meet students at their point of need.

Positive School Culture

We believe that a calm learning environment is essential for academic success and lifelong wellbeing.



Grounded in our SWPBS framework, our consistent routines and shared behavioural expectations foster a predictable, respectful, and joyful learning atmosphere.

Purpose-Built Learning Spaces

Our modern campus is designed to support rich academic, creative, and physical pursuits:

- Central Facilities: An administration hub housing a comprehensive library, dedicated visual arts and STEM studios, a food technology kitchen, and modern first-aid facilities.
- Learning Neighbourhoods: Collaborative classroom neighborhoods alongside modern relocatable learning spaces to comfortably support our growing student body.
- Gymnasium Complex: A competition-grade indoor stadium with tiered seating, paired with an integrated performing arts suite that doubles as a presentation stage. These spaces host school assemblies and community sports programs after hours.
- Outdoor Grounds: Expansive grounds featuring competition-standard hard courts, a natural turf sports oval, an outdoor stage, an agility adventure playground, and a dedicated nature-play reserve complete with a dry creek bed.

We warmly invite you to join our community and partner with us in shaping an extraordinary educational journey.
