Welcome to Currawa Primary School, a small school where Science Rules. Students are encouraged to learn in an innovative and nurturing environment.
At Currawa Primary School, we take pride in promoting a friendly atmosphere where parents, students and teachers work together to generate quality educational opportunities for the children. The values we endeavour to uphold are; Accepting, Curious and Enthusiastic (ACE). These values form the basis of all that we do.
Within the whole-school classroom, we have a strong emphasis on Reading, Writing and Numeracy. We incorporate Science into all learning areas that we can. Our Science curriculum promotes the use of collaborative learning teams and enquiry-based learning. Children have clearly defined roles within their work teams as they are encouraged to explore, ask their own questions and predict outcomes to problems.
Currawa Primary School has a partnership with Bendigo Senior Secondary College that allows us to have a Chinese (Mandarin) program at the school. We run weekly lessons using the teachers from Bendigo Senior Secondary College and teachers from Currawa Primary School. The Chinese program looks at culture, conversation, reading and writing.
The school has its own bus which enables us to connect with other schools, local organisations and participate in a large number of learning opportunities outside of our spacious classroom and Science Laboratory. The grounds are stunning and perched on Mount Major, above the picturesque University of Melbourne - Dookie Campus.
