Dear Parents, Students and Friends,
What Does Overport Offers Your Child!
At Overport Primary we are very proud of the outstanding curriculum programs that we offer our students. Our teachers are highly skilled professionals who have a genuine affection for the children in their care. While we rejoice at the students’ achievements, we also encourage and support all their efforts. We have a broad range of specialist areas: Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Japanese, Health and Physical Education and Library. Our Music program provides opportunities for children to learn keyboard, wind and brass instruments and guitar. This allows us to have a school band as well as a grade 6 Rock band...something our children all enjoy listening to! Regular performances from these bands, grades or individuals take place at our weekly assemblies. Each year we hold an instrumental concert in our school hall, a whole school production at the Frankston Cultural Centre as well as a Christmas Concert under the stars on our beautiful extensive grounds.
On the sporting field we encourage our children to have fun and participate in good natured competition. However, Overport does do extremely well, having had some students reaching both regional and state finals in arrange of sporting areas. Our recent upgrade to our sports fields allows us to develop skills as well as recognise and support excellence.

With an interactive whiteboard and four computers in every classroom, we also have a strong focus on developing information communication technologies. Our multimedia room has one computer per child and we have a lap top program for students in grades 3 to 6. Therefore, by attending Overport Primary School, you are giving your child the best possible start for lifelong learning!
Home page competition.
This is the last week for our "Homepage" competition. The children have been collecting names of family members and friends who make Overport’s website their homepage. For every name that they collect they will receive a raffle ticket to go into a draw for an Apple Ipod shuffle.
