Croydon Primary School

Croydon Primary School Croydon Primary School (CPS) is a Victorian Government Primary School in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria.

Established in 1888, our school is located in central Croydon on a bushland site of four hectares, within a culturally and socially diverse community. We pride ourselves on engaging our students with challenging learning experiences that cater for the wide variety of individual needs. We have nine classes with a student population of approximately 170. We work extensively with our school community

and parents to provide a high standard of education. We are well supported by an excellent School Council, an active Parents Club and community volunteers. Teaching teams work together at all levels of the school to plan and deliver an extensive curriculum that promotes student development. We place great emphasis on both academic achievement and each child’s personal development. Specialist programs are offered in the areas of Visual Arts, Performing Arts and Languages (Indonesian and German). The following values underpin all that we do as a school community: team work, resilience, a positive attitude, caring and integrity. We are a learning community; large enough to offer students choice and opportunity and small enough to know and care for each individual student. We always welcome the support of parents, as this strengthens the links between school and home.

This week Year 1/2 students have been exploring the forces of gravity through fun hands-on activities investigating floating and sinking. They made predictions about which objects would float or sink and tested their ideas. Students enjoyed asking questions, sharing their discoveries and developing their scientific thinking.

On Wednesday, the Prep students enthusiastically celebrated their 100th Day of School! The day was packed with exciting activities all centred around the number 100. Students had a fantastic time decorating biscuits, racing to reach 100 on a number chart, and working together to stack 100 cups into a tower. There were lots of smiles, laughter and teamwork throughout the day as everyone celebrated this special milestone. We all had a wonderful day making memories, having fun and celebrating 100 amazing days of learning together!

On Monday 15th of June, the Year 5/6 students travelled by train to the North Melbourne Football Club to participate in The Huddle. Students took part in a range of hands-on STEM challenges that encouraged critical thinking, collaboration and problem-solving. The experience provided opportunities to apply their learning in real-world contexts and develop their inquiry skills.

Our Year 1/2 students had an incredible time during our Minibeast Visit!

One of the highlights of the day was witnessing a butterfly emerge from its cocoon, a rare and special experience that many of us had never seen before. Students also had the opportunity to feed butterflies inside the butterfly tent and bravely hold a spiny leaf insect.

Students explored a variety of fascinating minibeasts, examining them under microscopes and insect viewers. They even scooped up crickets to observe their body parts up close! Students also got creative by making warning bracelets and crafting their own minibeasts using plasticine.

It was a fun-filled day of discovery, hands-on learning, and wonder as we explored the amazing world of minibeasts!

Our Prep students were excited to welcome some very special visitors into their classrooms this week - a mother rabbit, Mrs. Brown, and her six adorable kittens (yes, baby rabbits are called kittens!).

As part of our Integrated unit on the Needs and Care of Living Things, students have been learning about how to care for animals by observing the rabbits closely, discussing what they need to stay healthy and safe, and showing gentle and responsible handling.

The classrooms have been filled with excitement, curiosity, and lots of smiles as students connect their learning with real-life experiences. We look forward to continuing to care for our furry friends while learning all about living things!

Observation in action!
The extended warm weather in Term 1 allowed for some fabulous arthropod spotting in the sanctuary during Environmental Education sessions.

Eagle-eyed students spotted a St Andrew’s Cross spider, Crane Fly and a very well camouflaged spider on a tree!
