Dear Parents, Students and Friends, 

What 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 performing arts 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 to which our children all enjoy listening!  Regular performances from the 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 a range of sporting areas.    Our recent upgrade to our sports fields allows us to develop skills as well as recognise and support excellence.

We have a strong focus on developing information communication technologies (ICT).  Our staff have exceptional capabilities in ICT and are well versed, which allows us to be ahead of new initiatives and able to direct and support the children's learning through technological tools.  With an interactive whiteboard and four computers in every classroom, a multimedia room, which has one computer per child, and  a lap top program for students in grades 3 to 6, children are exposed to a wide range of programs.   By enrolling your child at Overport Primary School, you are giving your child the best possible start for lifelong learning!          

This week we have a new sponsor: Bunnings; so,  have a close look to see what they are offering our community. Bunnings is wondrful supporter of Overport!
