We value community relationships and reflection.¿

We have a shared belief that all students can reach their full potential at River Gum through the motto ¿Together We Can¿.

Our school values of Respect, Excellence, Equality and Inclusion are modelled by our school community, staff and students. School values create a strong sense of community and connectedness at our school and support the reinforcement of high expectations for all.

Our school is located in Hampton Park, a suburb in the City of Casey within Melbourne¿s south-east. We are proud of our school community, and with a history of over 30 years our school caters for a wide range of social, economic and cultural backgrounds.

We teach our students through an explicit approach using a knowledge and language rich curriculum, providing opportunities for our students to broaden their background knowledge of a wide range of topics and to expand their vocabulary in these areas.

We set our expectations for students high across all levels of the school, which engages students in a curriculum that deepens their thinking,



broadens their possibilities and stretches their imagination.

Our learning program is sequenced to provide multiple exposures to new learning over time which enables students to transfer learning into their long-term memory.

Like our students, our staff are always seeking to improve; as a community of teachers, leaders and education support staff, we are all passionate with a genuine love of learning. We are privileged to teach, and we know that the quality of our instruction makes the biggest in-school impact on student outcomes. We also know we are better when we work together, so we place importance on being collaborative in all we do.

Everyone has the right to feel safe and happy at school. We place a strong focus on wellbeing by establishing calm and orderly learning environments in which everyone can learn. We teach a broad wellbeing curriculum, focusing on resilience and respectful relationships. We also develop wellbeing through a rich specialist curriculum, which incorporates Physical Education & Health, The Arts, Technologies and Auslan.
