Description

Richmond West Primary School is located in the densely populated inner suburb of Richmond in close proximity to the CBD. The school caters for students from culturally, linguistically and socio-economically diverse families. There is a large cohort of students whose families are employed in professional careers. These families have specifically selected this school to access the Chinese bilingual program. Some parents live outside the immediate Richmond area and travel considerable distances to get to the school or have moved into the area to be closer. A highlight of the school is the well-established bilingual program that supports and encourages children in the development of Chinese, Vietnamese and English, as first and second languages. The school is unique in that this most successful bilingual immersion program, conceived early in the school's establishment, is now regarded as a unique model in Australia and attracts many visitors from a state, national and international level. The well-maintained, two-storey, open plan building provides ample spaces for students to work in different learning environments and is set in attractive grounds that provide a range of play spaces for students. The school retains close connections to its Vietnamese heritage and has strong ties with the Chinese community. The school has links to the Chinese Teacher Training Centre and Confucius Institute at the University of Melbourne as well as many local partnerships. The school has recently developed a strong sister school relationship with its new partner Changjiang Road Primary School of Jiangsu Province, Nanjing, China. The flexible groupings across grade levels and streams reflect the school's team approach to integrate teaching and learning into programs that are responsive to the individual needs and differences of students. The English/Chinese bilingual program operates in Years P-6 and the English/Vietnamese program operates in Years P-3. Over 60% of students spend three days immersed in English and two days in the alternate language classrooms. The school's strategic goal for all students is to achieve at least one year's growth annually and this is supported by targeted teacher professional development. Richmond West Primary School is an exciting place, achieving excellent outcomes in a warm, supportive environment, proudly serving the needs of our diverse community.
