Jennings Street School

Welcome to Jennings Street School, a leading establishment located in Laverton, Australia. As an esteemed point of interest in the area, our school is dedicated to providing a high-quality education and fostering a culture of excellence.

At Jennings Street School, we prioritize the development of confident and successful learners. Our Positive Behaviour Intervention Support Team plays a vital role in establishing a positive climate for learning, focusing on explicit teaching of emotional regulation and social thinking. We also embed our core values of Learning, Respect, and Safety into our everyday practices and teachings.

Our learning and teaching approach is designed around the Victorian Curriculum, with a strong emphasis on high expectations. We report on essential learnings including English, Maths, Inquiry Learning, and Personal and Social Capabilities. The Humanities are taught through an Inquiry Learning approach, with a well-developed Scope and Sequence of Inquiry topics implemented across each term to scaffold learning.

In addition to our core curriculum, we offer specialty areas such as Music, Music Therapy, Art, Physical Education, Swimming, and Technology. Our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) program provides an alternative learning pathway that engages students in project-based learning. Our school Cafe and canteen facility also offer functional learning opportunities aligned with post-school learning pathways.

We believe in a strong partnership between parents, carers, and the school community. Priority learning goals for students are established in collaboration with parents and carers, and achievement progress is documented and communicated twice annually through report meetings. Our seesaw digital portfolio further promotes the home-school learning partnership by sharing real-time learning updates.

At Jennings Street School, we are committed to delivering high-quality teaching and learning programs based on current research and aligned with Departmental policy and curriculum frameworks. We strive to build a school culture that respects all members of the school community and ensures the consistent implementation of safe practices.
