Our school buildings are new and modern in design, providing outstanding opportunities to embrace innovative teaching and learning. We provide a balanced and comprehensive curriculum to implement leading-edge practices and teach for the future. The school has a strong focus on Literacy, Numeracy, Inquiry, ICT and Student Wellbeing. Classroom programs are designed to support individual needs and are enriched by a number of specialist programs and features. Our library is designed as an inquiry learning space to encourage a love of reading as well as investigation and is a central focus within the school.

Overport is a Restorative Practice school. As such, children are encouraged to act responsibly, showing respect for people, the environment and property. A strong approach to wellbeing, which includes our Restorative Practices approach, is designed to support student social competencies across the school. We also promote GEM - Gratitude, Empathy and Kindness and Mindfulness through the Resilience Program. We welcome our community to join us at whole school assembly when held outside approximately twice a term. As well as this, our year six captains run afternoon assemblies in the school hall at 2.50 pm on Monday each week. We alternate between our lower and upper students each fortnight. Students may receive a CARES award which is a feature of the assembly. At these weekly school assembly our school rules are highlighted and designed to assist students to interact positively with all. - Be safe - Be respectful - Be responsible - Be a learner. As well as an acknowledgment for the Bunurong people of the Kulin nation, and the National Anthem and school song, the children make the following pledge: I promise to do my best For my country Australia, For my school Overport, And to help other people at all times. |
