Flowerdale Primary School is a small school, in the heart of Flowerdale. With a focus on individualised learning and supporting the diverse needs of our school community, FPS is a school, that immediately makes you feel welcome. The Flowerdale School Community is committed to providing a happy and secure environment in order for all students to reach their maximum potential. Our main goal at FPS is to encourage student independence, life skills and an emphasis on the social and emotional learning of our students. With this, we know that learning will flourish and students will feel safe and connected within their school environment. We have begun our work on implementing the new Victorian Curriculum 2.0 and are building student knowledge and understanding of Literacy and Numeracy with an emphasis on phonics and hands on numeracy manipulation. Our staff team at FPS come with a depth of knowledge and experience. They have a strong committment to the school community, and work tirelessly to ensure our students are supported in the best way possible.
The well designed Flowerdale Education and Early Learning Centre provides a strong link between Maternal Health, the Flowerdale Kindergarten, Flowerdale Primary School and the community. This enables many transition activities throughout the entire year. The Primary School is completed with Multi-Purpose Room, three furnished classrooms, and OSHC room, meeting rooms and kitchen.
Attractive native and cottage gardens complement this beautiful little school. A variety of well-maintained areas allow for diversification of play and harmony. We have a peaceful outdoor classroom space in our Indigenous Garden, which is accompanied by our yarning circle - where students and staff can sit and share stories, knowledge, and ideas in a safe, non-judgemental space. They can build trust, respect and caring relationships, which allign perfectly with our philosophy at FPS.
In the wider community, facilities used include the Flowerdale Hall, Flowerdale Community House and the Spring Valley Recreation Reserve. Combined activities are often held with other schools in the Murrindindi Cluster. The school supports, and in return enjoys the valued support of the CFA, Community House and local sports clubs. The PFA and School Council organise fundraising opportunities for the school.
Flowerdale Primary School thus plays a major role in fostering a broad community spirit as well as nurturing and teaching the children of that community.
