Belle Vue provides all students with a planned and structured curriculum to equip them with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to complete their schooling and to make a successful transition from school to work, training, or further education. Belle Vue is committed to offering a comprehensive curriculum based on the Victorian Curriculum F-10.
The core purpose of Belle Vue Primary School, as defined in the Strategic Plan, is to foster a safe and stimulating learning environment where all students will be supported to achieve their full potential academically, socially and emotionally. The school seeks to create global citizens who are prepared for their future and who will work for the betterment of themselves, their community and the world.
At Belle Vue we are proud to provide a 21st century curriculum that presents students with the opportunity to develop deep understandings on a range of concepts throughout their school lives. Our broad curriculum is planned and taught sequentially and allows students to have some ownership in all aspects of their learning. It is designed to develop thinking and social skills, foster engagement with the wider community and include use of a wide variety of technology to assist in student learning. To support the delivery of the curriculum at our school we access and select a wide range of suitable educational resources, use a range of student assessment and reporting activities and undertake constant professional learning focused around evidence-based best practices.
Belle Vue Primary School is committed to lifelong learning by providing an inclusive, supportive and nurturing community in which diversity is valued and celebrated. We promote a learning environment that engages all students, families and staff in working together as a learning community, underpinned by the school values of Respect, Responsibility, Pride, Integrity and Commitment. We see the building of positive relationships with students as a key to success, with strong relationships providing a foundation for student engagement, belonging, and, ultimately, learning.
The school offers 4 specialist subjects: Italian, Physical Education, Visual Art and Coding/Robotics.
Teachers participate in Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) where they collaborate and learn from one another. They plan for students by considering individual needs, analysing student learning data, and researching and applying best practices to ensure teaching and learning are current and relevant. Teachers also engage in professional development both on and off-site.
Our teaching and learning is guided by whole school Instructional Models which define the core pedagogical practices at our school. It is an expectation that all staff follow these models as they plan and implement powerful learning opportunities for our students. Having a whole school instructional model supports us in having a consistent, collaborative and committed approach to meeting student needs.
