School Profile

"... a collaborative and dynamic community of learners with a shared commitment to improving student outcomes..."
​Mont Albert Primary School serves the educational needs of families in a pleasant residential area of Balwyn, Mont Albert and Mont Albert North. The school was established in 1917 and celebrated a centenary in 2017. As a result of the school's continuing strong standing and reputation, a Department approved enrolment boundary is strictly enforced. The school has a current enrolment of approximately 550 students.

A culture of high expectations permeates the school, and the staff operate as a collaborative and dynamic community of learners with a shared commitment to improving student outcomes and ensuring that teaching reflects best practice. The level of staff engagement is commendable with leadership supporting and empowering staff to do their job effectively and build a sense of ownership and commitment to the goals and values of the school. 

A range of digital technologies are utilised within each classroom to support learning in all areas of the curriculum, with interactive displays, laptops, iPads and robots used to facilitate engaging learning  opportunities. Technology is a learning tool that teachers leverage to engage and meet the learning needs of whole classes, small groups or individuals. Teachers are regularly developing their own digital technology skills, and the financial commitment to this area is significant in providing new and varied technology, with improved infrastructure and continued integration of learning tools into classrooms - including the introduction of a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) program in Years 5 and 6.

Home-school partnerships are valued, with all key stake holders working together to achieve the best possible learning outcomes for all students. Parents are welcomed into all aspects of school life, including School Council (and subcommittees), Parents' Club, classroom assistance, working bees, and attendance at excursions and camps. Several special events are held each year which community members are welcomed to attend and support their children. The school leadership actively advocate an open door policy where parents are very welcome to discuss questions, ideas, issues or concerns as they arise. Compass (an online whole-school management system) has been implemented to further promote communication.
