Welcome to Evatt Primary School.

We are a proud school with the current enrolment at around 350 students, including a preschool. We have a strong belief that we achieve the very best for all our students when we work in partnership with our parents, carers and the community. At Evatt, we have high expectations that promote both students’ academic achievement and wellbeing.

We place a strong emphasis on a consistent and structured approach to teaching and learning. We believe this promotes equity across classrooms and increases consistency in instruction from our high quality teachers. At Evatt, we pride ourselves on our inclusive practices with our team working hard to meet the needs of all our students each and every day.

Our core focus of learning is literacy and numeracy. We commence every day with a dedicated literacy block that encompasses reading, spelling and grammar, and writing. This is followed by a numeracy block that focuses on teaching maths concepts and skills from the Australian Curriculum.

At Evatt, our students benefit from our collective focus on using the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) framework.  We call these our ‘Everyday at Evatt’ expectations. These are clear and consistent behavioural expectations for all students that are explicitly taught as a set of positive behaviours that students are encouraged to act and follow.

Our commitment to building ‘A Community United’ is harnessed through our Family Connect framework. Family Connect is a community initiative located at our school. It aims to increase outcomes for children and their families by bringing together early years learning, education, wrap-around health and community all being centrally coordinated from Evatt Primary School

Our work at Evatt Primary School is unpacked through our School Improvement Plan 2023 - 2027 which encompasses two priorities.

Priority 1: Improve Individual Student Outcomes. The Key strategies to progress these are;

• Effective teaching and curriculum
• Student centred learning
• Engaged families and communities

Priority 2: A Community United. The Key strategies to progress these are;

• Wrap around health and wellbeing services
• Improved school readiness
• Adult engagement, enrichment, learning and employment opportunities

We warmly welcome you and your family to come and visit our wonderful school.
