Welcome to

URQUHART PARK PRIMARY SCHOOL

Acknowledgement of Country

We would like to acknowledge the Wadawurrung People, who are the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we come to learn.
We thank them and their ancestors for looking after this land for thousands of years, and for their kindness and courage in sharing it with us in the present.

UPPS School Council is proud to announce that starting in 2021, our school will be known as Newington Primary School. Minister for Education James Merlino has approved the name change request.

Urquhart Park Primary School offers a vibrant and engaging education to our students. Our school community has a shared goal of providing for all aspects of each child’s academic, social, physical and emotional development. We want our school to be a safe place, where our students feel that they are valued, a place where they can thrive.
At UPPS, our students are encouraged to appreciate the community around them and to see themselves as global citizens. In addition to acquiring knowledge, they are encouraged to respect and show compassion for others. Our students are fostered to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with others. As an authorised International Baccalaureate World School, our curriculum is built upon 21st century thinking where all facets of education are connected and interwoven.

Our students are immersed in a learning culture strengthened by encouragement, positive relationships, and a challenging curriculum that inspires creative and critical thinking. Inquiry-based learning is blended with other trusted teaching approaches to ensure that children receive instruction in all learning areas that is tailored to meet their needs.

We look forward to welcoming you into our vibrant school community, with a commitment to excellence in teaching and learning. We invite you to explore our website and learn more about how our students benefit from the unique education that UPPS provides.

In 2020 we are fortunate to be working in partnership with The Resilience Project to deliver an evidence-based program, teaching practical strategies to create positive emotions and build resilience.

Students and staff have been involved in engaging presentations focusing on the key concepts of GRATITUDE, EMPATHY & MINDFULNESS and how we can build positive mental health in our day to day life.

The Resilience Project’s wellbeing curriculum – which is closely aligned to the personal and social capabilities in the Victorian Curriculum - is being implemented in all classrooms.

This program is an important part of our school’s effort to look after the mental health of our whole school community.
