Killara Primary School, opened in 1993, is on the northwest fringe of Sunbury. With extensive, landscaped grounds, a large gymnasium and 172 seat performance-ready theatre, the school is well laid out with 2 core buildings comprising administration, 16 classrooms, library/resource centre, performing and visual arts spaces and 10 relocatable classrooms. The buildings are in good condition, our grounds are well maintained and all programs are well-resourced with an emphasis on technology, which includes interactive TVs in each classroom, a 1:1 Netbook Program in Year 5/6 and sets of netbooks and tablets in the P-4 learning areas, including class sets in the 3/4 area.

With 300 students, Killara Primary School recognise the extraordinary responsibility and privilege it is to educate our students and their right to achieve their highest potential; hence their vision ¿Our Best, Every Child, Every Day¿. Strong school values of Respect, Resilience and Accountability support this vision.

Killara embraces a student-centred approach to developing literate, numerate and curious learners within an inclusive differentiated curriculum, with a focus that supports each child¿s emotional, physical, social and cognitive/academic needs in a safe, engaging, challenging and positive learning environment.

At Killara it is recognised that students are powerful learners who must be actively engaged and challenged in the process of learning to ensure the best possible outcomes for all. The school community (teachers, students and parents)



promote learning as an ongoing exploration of our world in an authentic way that encourages the learner to take risks.

Staff work collaboratively, with a strong emphasis on teamwork and shared leadership. A commitment to developing a Professional Learning Community, where all are responsible for the growth, well-being and development of all students is central, through refined use of data to determine learning needs, robust feedback procedures and a dedication to collaborative teaching teams.
