Guthrie Street Primary School prides itself on innovation in education and welcomes staff who can help us build these strengths across our Foundation to Year 6 offering.

Consider:

We are the only primary school in Shepparton to have a deaf facility as our second campus, where we offer specialised teaching and the integration of Auslan into the school.

Guthrie Street is highly regarded for its EQ Program, which helps our students develop their social and emotional capabilities to improve success in academic work.

We boast an exemplary art and creative arts programthat emphasises skill development, creativity, appreciation and presentation.

Being creative also means having high-end information and communications technology to complement our modernised classrooms. Our students even enjoy podcast facilities.

Catering to students from Foundation to Year 6, we have more than 50 staff, including a full-time nurse, and some 485 students on large premises featuring an indoor gymnasium and outdoor classroom.

Our ¿backyard¿ extends to the nearby Broken River and its natural environment, accessed by a network of walking and biking tracks. A footbridge connects our school community to the Australian Botanic Gardens and its outdoor learning opportunities.

New teachers to our school invariably choose to stay ¿ contributing to our proud culture of education, innovation, expertise and enjoyment.
