Thomastown Meadows Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive learning community situated in a quiet residential setting. With an enrolment of approximately 216 students, our school reflects a rich cultural diversity, with many students coming from multilingual backgrounds. We embrace this diversity as a strength, fostering a culture of inclusion, respect and high expectations for every learner.

Our school vision is underpinned by the values of Honesty, Empathy and Respect. These values are brought to life through our strong commitment to student voice, agency and engagement. We strive to develop confident and independent learners who actively participate in their education and contribute positively to their community.

Thomastown Meadows Primary School is recognised for its strong and consistent approach to student wellbeing. School performance data places us among the highest-performing schools in the Whittlesea Network for student wellbeing, reflecting our deeply embedded, whole-school commitment to creating positive, inclusive and supportive learning environments.

We implement evidence-based classroom management practices aligned with the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) framework. This includes a clearly defined behaviour matrix, the explicit teaching of expected behaviours and a proactive focus on prevention, engagement and self-regulation. These consistent practices support calm, orderly and productive classrooms where every student feels safe, respected and ready to learn.

Our commitment to wellbeing is further strengthened through participation in the Mental Health in Primary Schools initiative, which equips staff with the knowledge and strategies required to support students social and emotional development. Positive relationships are central to our work,



with a strong emphasis on building trust, connection and a genuine sense of belonging for every child.

Staff work collaboratively to design engaging and differentiated learning programs aligned with the Victorian Curriculum, ensuring that every student is supported and challenged to achieve their personal best.

Digital technologies are embedded throughout the curriculum, providing students with access to a range of devices and personalised, cutting-edge learning experiences. Our specialist programs including STEAM, Physical Education, Visual Arts and Music enrich the curriculum and provide meaningful opportunities for students to discover and develop their individual interests, talents and strengths.

Our STEAM program is a key feature of the school and is delivered in a purpose-built, well-resourced learning space.

Learning experiences include coding, robotics, virtual technologies and 3D design. All specialist programs are intentionally differentiated to accommodate a broad range of abilities,



ensuring that students are appropriately supported and extended.
