At Winthrop Primary School we live our school motto of learning and growing together. Our whole school pedagogy is built around this motto with a focus on continual growth and improvement in all aspects of our work.
We believe that children learn best when each and every one of them is valued, supported, connected and nurtured to develop a ‘can do’ attitude.
Our school understands and acknowledges that our values of Respect, Responsibility, Care and Achievement underpin
everything we do.
We care about and look after ourselves, other people and our environment.
Care
We show regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others because everyone has the right to be respected.
Respect
We are accountable and take responsibility for our own actions.
Responsibility
We know success is not always about simply achieving the goal but is also about the important learning you do along the way.
Achievement
Engage With Our School Community
Winthrop Primary School works in partnership with community to support all
students in becoming successful learners, confident and creative individuals and
active and informed citizens.
Recently we held our annual Scooter-a-thon for our Kindergarten & Pre-Primary students. Most students completed 10 laps around the basketball courts in record time! This annual fundraiser for the P&C combined with our Lap-a-thon in Term 2 usually raises approximately $15,000 for our school thanks to the generosity of our community. If you haven't already, please pop your sponsorship monies into the front office before next Wednesday so we can announce the total raised.
A HUGE congratulations to our Year 4, 5 & 6 Swimming Champions for 2023!
Last week's Faction Swimming Carnival was a huge success with over 80 students participating. In the end it was Banksia who came away with the win. Thank-you to all our school community members who were able to come along and support our swimmers and well done to every student who showed exceptional sportsmanship and behaviour on the day.

As Winthropians we take responsibility for our actions and acknowledge our mistakes.
The best thing I like about my work are the 'lightbulb' moments when you see on a child's face that they understand something for the first time.
Everyone is kind, generous and friendly. Everyone fits in at Winthrop because you can make friends and be a good friend.
The best thing I like about my work is our connected community, the growth I see in my students and the humour shared working toward our goals.
The best thing I like about my work is seeing my students' 'get it,' whatever their personal 'it' is.
At Winthrop Primary School everyone belongs because we are good at sharing our cultures.
The thing I like best about my work is the opportunity to connect with the whole child to enable a love of learning, life and ongoing growth.
Learn and Grow Together.
