About our school

 

 

 

Our school is well resourced and has recently been fully renovated to provide beautiful and flexible learning spaces to accommodate indoor and outdoor learning, small group, whole class or larger group activities all set within the stunning backdrop of the beautiful Mt Macedon.

We see learning as a natural process. Indeed, our children come to us curious and motivated to learn. As a staff and community, we are committed to our students’ best interests and foster creativity, and critical thinking. We are flexible in our approach in order to support individual needs and learning preferences.

At St Ambrose Primary School we offer class sizes of between 20 and 25 students with a high level of support

We work from the MACS Vision for Instruction model, explicitly teaching new concepts and allowing for guided and independent practice. This model supports:

  • researched evidence-based practices.
  • active & successful participation.
  • differentiated learning.
  • explicit instruction and structured literacy.
  • enabling student voice & agency.
  • aligning with the neuroscience of the brain on how children learn best and retain information.

We see learning as a journey of endless possibilities where together as educators, families, parish, and local community we seek meaning by exploring and engaging deeply in every opportunity offered. Together and with hope filled hearts we enable our vision, “Centred by Faith – In Partnership with Community – We Provide Excellence in Learning “.
