Irymple Primary School is located 5 km from the centre of Mildura with a student population of 354 in 2026. We are committed to creating a stimulating and challenging learning environment that supports each child to 'Be the Best That They Can Be' (Our school Motto).
Our school has four key values - LEARNING, PRIDE, RESPECT and SAFETY. We endeavour in our daily work to provide an ‘INCLUSIVE’ learning environment where all students can achieve their personal best (academically, socially and emotionally).
The school maintains a high level of student learning in all curriculum areas through the delivery of high-quality learning programs, with an emphasis in the areas of Literacy, Numeracy, Italian Language, I.C.T, The Arts and PE/Health. The individual needs of all students are catered for through a range of programs providing additional support and extension. Our school culture promotes the social and emotional development of our students through the integrated teaching and reinforcement of the foundations for success at school. We have strong foundations that are connected to the Berry Street Education Model and School Wide Positive Behaviours - Department of Education (DE). We want our student to be confident citizens with academic, social and emotional skills that can be of assistance for life.
We want our students to be able to get along with their peers and adults and show 'resilience' to be able to keep learning academically and to engage socially with others in a positive manner. We want the students to use these skills and the school developed 'Resilience Bricks' to be able to move forward and bounce back as needed. All students in the various ‘Programs for Students with a Disability’ showed progress at 'satisfactory' or 'above' in achieving their goals. Non-attendance is monitored daily and is a shared responsibility with the Student Wellbeing team, teachers and the families of children. Students participate in a wide range of extracurricular activities and have a developing ‘Student Agency and Voice’ in all that we 'say and do'. We have a School Sports Academy to promote student engagement with higher level participation and training e.g. Football, Netball, Hockey and Soccer and Basketball.
We have an active Junior School Council (JSC). We are proud of our school and the relationship it enjoys with its families and the wider community. Parents are involved in the school in many ways, including the School Council, support of learning within classrooms, supporting social activities, supporting excursions and participating in unit level and whole school celebrations. Our school had 20 equivalent full-time staff made up of a Principal and Assistant Principal, two Learning Specialists, Teachers and 15.0 Education Support Staff.
We have an active school website, we put up regular Facebook updates every week, and we have a comprehensive fortnightly Newsletter and Calendar emailed out via Compass and also available in hard copy every fortnight from our school office.
