Mooroopna Park Primary School
Mooroopna Park Primary School is a school of 153 students serving the greater Mooroopna
area, a large provincial town within the City of Greater Shepparton.
The school, established in 1980, is set in a park-like environment adjoining Mooroopna Secondary
College. The school draws many of its students from the near-by housing estate. Approximately
40% of students come from indigenous backgrounds and a further 15% from culturally diverse
backgrounds. The school runs composite classes and is divided into a junior and senior team for
planning and sharing resources.
Extra programs and support include additional literacy assistance, Koorie Literacy, Technology
activities, Art, Music, Science and PE, woodwork and gardening.
The school has a Koorie Educator and Primary Welfare Officer who provide significant support
to the students and their families. A strong emphasis is placed on forming a partnership with
parents in the education of their children. The school has adopted the motto of a 'no excuse'
school, so we strive to have high expectations with learning and social interactions.
