Location Profile
Darley Primary School is in the suburb of Darley, Bacchus Marsh, 58km west of Melbourne. The school opened its doors to students in 1981.
Darley Primary School prides itself on being a community school that develops strong relationships between students, parents, staff and the wider community. Our School Community believes that our school should be a vibrant, creative, safe and happy place for families to send their children to. Our school works hard to develop lifelong learners, tailoring programs that tap into student interests and skills. Students are challenged to develop individual goals that are supported by families and staff.
Darley Primary School has a current enrolment of 540 students. The level of student enrolments is expected to remain relatively consistent over the next few years. The school has 23 classes with a combination of full and part time staff, along with five specialist classes of HAPE, STEM, Visual Arts, Performing Art and Chinese Language. The school has approximately 58FTE staff members. This includes a Principal, 2 Assistant Principals, 2 Leading Teachers, 2 Learning Specialist, Classroom Teachers and Non-Teaching Staff.
Darley Primary School works hard to develop social competency in our students. Our school values Respect, Responsibility, Honesty and Teamwork and behavioural expectations are emphasised to students, parents and staff. Our SWPBS Behaviour Matrix is also explicitly shared with our school community.
Staff members participate in regular professional development, both internally and externally to the school. All staff take on active individual and team-based roles within our school community and across many professional fields. Staff take pride in the ongoing development, implementation and evaluation of programs that assist students to achieve their full potential.
Staff members place a high priority on communication and work with parents to ensure student progress. Individual Education Plans are developed for students who need extra support as well as those working above level.
Our current Strategic Plan (2020 - 2024) has the following goals:
To build student voice and agency to improve student engagement in learning
To improve student achievement and learning growth in Literacy
To maximise health and wellbeing for all students
