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.
What a celebration we had last night at our End of Term Disco. Thank-you to Lauren and her lovely team of volunteers, who sizzled, popped and generally ensured the success of this P&C event. We've said it before and we will say it again, we simply can not hold these events without the support of our community. The tunes provided by DJ Robbie were just right for our students to dance the night away, the students have all worked so hard this term and deserved this celebration!
Monday & Tuesday was DANCEMANIA!!!
What an absolutely fabulous celebration of our learning in this area of the arts this term. This event was attended by so many members of our community and was such a treat. From our Pre-Primary Pups to our very cool Year 6 students showcasing their moves - it certainly was a creative experience.
Thank-you to Mrs Bancroft from Wellbeing4Kids, for her dedication and skill in ensuring both performances were perfect and Mrs Riquelme for being a timetabling extraordinaire, MC and DJ!
💃🕺❤
All the kids were amazing ✨ Made my heart smile 💚
Thank-you to all our Busy Bee families that turned up on Sunday morning to help. In a short time, much was accomplished including weeding, planting, rubbish collections, a great potato dig, and general tidying. A special shout out to our students who came along to take care of their school. Thank-you to Lee for all her work in preparing, motivating and organising the team ❤🐞🌿
Great turnout ! and who knew Mr Dufall was a master pruner ?
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.
