Acknowledgement of Country

We acknowledge and pay our deepest respects to the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we gather, the Bunurong people. As we come together in unity and learning, let us honor their enduring connection to the land, waters, and culture, as well as their Elders past, present, and emerging. We also recognize the ongoing contributions of Indigenous Australians to our society and commit ourselves to fostering a spirit of reconciliation, understanding, and mutual respect. Together, let us walk gently on this sacred land and work towards a future that acknowledges and celebrates the rich heritage of its First Peoples.

From the Principal

Sorrento Primary School is situated at the end of the Mornington Peninsula and is bordered between Sorrento Front Beach (Port Phillip Bay), Sorrento Back Beach (Ocean Beach) and Point Nepean (Portsea). We acknowledge the Bunurong Peoples as the traditional owners of the land, and spend time building a genuine connection with our natural environment.

Our school values underpin the culture and behaviour in the school, practising gratitude, empathy and mindfulness through our Healthy Habits Happy Kids programme. Our school motto “Every Step Outside Leads to New Discoveries” encapsulates our teaching pedagogy, which balances learning both in and outside the classroom. Students investigate and inquire, at times leading their own learning. Teachers explicitly teach English and Mathematics content using evidence-based practices, including a Systematic Phonics Programme. We also ensure students are exposed to Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education, Outdoor Education, and Digital Technologies through our rich specialist classes. All students and staff are learning Auslan as an additional language to enhance communication with the extended community.

Our staff work collaboratively to ensure all students are assessed, identified, and taught at their point of need, with 5-weekly data tracking used as a basis for data analysis and conversations around planning appropriate lessons.

Our parents and community members are encouraged to become involved in events and fundraising, and are welcome to pop in at any time, with two-way communication encouraged.

Our students are at the centre of all our decision-making. Student voice and participation is always encouraged as we endeavour to build valued and active members in the global community.
