Our Philosophy

At Flinders View Primary School, our Approach is built around the beliefs that “Every child can be a High Achiever” and that “What happens in the classroom, matters”. Research has proven, that the single most important factor impacting student learning outcomes – is the quality of our teachers.

We value our teachers and recognise the complexity of their work. Our focus is on collaboratively and collectively building teacher capacity to enhance teaching and learning.

Our staff show a high level of commitment to improved teaching and learning through intensive Professional Learning programs and instructional coaching. Our committed and high-quality teachers provide a teaching and learning program centred around evidence-based practice and high-impact teaching strategies (with an emphasis on Explicit Instruction and the embedding of Aboriginal Perspectives and Pedagogies), that aims to accelerate student learning growth and improve student learning outcomes.

We have worked hard to develop a systematic and Explicit Approach to quality instruction. We plan our lessons using the Explicit Teaching Model (I do, We do, You do) which centralises around the gradual release model. We continue to work on this as we strive to be better and do better – every day. Teachers do indeed make the difference.
