Peranbin Primary College

Welcome to our school. Peranbin Primary College is four small schools, working together as one. We have campuses at Baddaginnie, Strathbogie and Violet Town. Each campus reflects the identity of the community.  Together we provide a wide range of learning opportunities for our students.

Students at our college are known to be thoughtful and caring, taking responsibility for themselves and being respectful.  We produce well-rounded students; in academic, sporting and creative fields. Our students achieve great outcomes as they travel into their secondary education and beyond. 

Our academic program is supported by ongoing professional learning for all staff. Staff engage regularly in training in the latest practices, supported by the research and work collaboratively to plan our learning programs. We have adopted the latest research in how student read, leading our work with a phonics-based approach in the junior years. We have a structured literacy and numeracy block each day to give our students concentrated work time to learn and practice the concepts taught. We have worked to develop our teachers’ skills in explicit teaching methods and all students are empowered to reflect upon their learning every day. We use data to track and monitor students and this forms the basis of our intervention approach. With small class sizes, at Peranbin our students are guaranteed an individualised approach is taken to their learning.

At Peranbin Primary College, we believe students must feel safe and supported to excel academically. We embrace diversity and difference with a strong wellbeing program and zero tolerance for anti-social behaviour. We do this by explicitly teaching and reinforcing the positive social behaviours we want every student to demonstrate every day. This is supported by our school values and the elaboration of these values in what we call our ‘matrix’. Students have developed this with staff, so our expectations are very clear. Every member of our school community is treated with unconditional positive regard, and we strongly value our relationships with one another and prioritise this work as a staff. We continually work on restorative practice principles and trauma informed practice. At Peranbin, we pride ourselves on creating a safe and calm environment where all students can learn and reach their full potential.

We hope your family enjoys their time at Peranbin. We welcome feedback and input into your child’s education as this is one of the biggest steps your child will take on their journey to independence. We really value the relationship between school and home, so please contact the school at any time with any questions or issues you or your child may be experiencing at school. We are determined to provide the best possible education to each child that comes to our school and look forward to working in partnership together.
