At Kossie, our moral purpose is to 'empower all students to learn and achieve,' ensuring a bright and active future. We achieve this by providing students with a high-quality education that is both engaging and inclusive. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to fostering a love for learning and personal development in every student. Through offering a diverse range of academic opportunities and extracurricular activities, we aim to build a strong foundation of factual knowledge and critical thinking skills. At Kosciuszko Street Primary School, we believe in instilling values of respect, resilience, and responsibility, which are essential not only for their school years but also for their future endeavours. We have a strong focus on academic achievement and implement an explicit direct instruction model throughout the curriculum, ensuring all students have access to an informative and extensive curriculum. Through the implementation of a Knowledge-Based Curriculum, our students receive high-quality instruction that allows learning to flow seamlessly from Prep to Grade 6. Our teachers are trained using current research, with a strong focus on the Science of Reading, Cognitive Load Theory, and Explicit Direct Instruction. Traralgon (Kosciuszko St) Primary School is located at the west end of Traralgon, the Latrobe Valley¿s largest town, 160 km southeast of Melbourne.

Kossie has developed a comprehensive approach to student well-being through the development of our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support Program (SWPBS). Students are explicitly taught appropriate behaviours and how to self-regulate. Our school takes pride in our four values: Be Respectful, Be Resilient, Be Ready, and Be Responsible. We use these values to provide explicit guidance and feedback to students. This is supported through our active engagement in The Resilience Project.
