Welcome to McDonald Park School
McDonald Park Primary School is committed to giving
every student the opportunity to achieve their potential in a caring and
safe educational environment that embraces our values of respect,
generosity and honesty. We provide a balanced and challenging curriculum
that caters for students' individual needs and talents, with an emphasis
on developing literacy and numeracy skills. We have a strong focus on
wellbeing, offering social learning programs that develop a student's
social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. A peer support program
operates in the yard, as well as supervised lunchtime activities.
Students have an active role in decision-making via a student
leadership team, representative groups and class meetings.
In recent years we have undergone a major redevelopment program, which included
refurbishment to the main building, and a new administration block,
resource centre, gymnasium and classroom block. Outside we provide a
number of flexible learning spaces including four playgrounds. Families
come from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds, and take pride in
the school.
There is a high level of parent participation and support, which is
greatly valued.
