WELCOME TO MEADOWS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Dear Students, Families, and Community Members,

It is with great pride and excitement that I welcome you to Meadows Primary School, a school with a proud history, strong community values, and a clear vision for student success.

Located in the well-established residential area of Broadmeadows, within the North West Victorian Region (NWVR), our school was established in 2009 through the merger of Meadowbank Primary and Campmeadows Primary Schools. Since then, Meadows Primary has grown into a dynamic, inclusive, and community-focused learning environment.

At the heart of our school is our shared vision:

"We are an inclusive and safe learning community that empowers students to achieve their potential and live our values."

Our culture is underpinned by our core values of Respect, Resilience, and Responsibility:

• We show Respect by embracing each other's strengths, stories, and backgrounds.
• We build Resilience by encouraging students to overcome challenges and keep striving.
• We take Responsibility for our learning, our actions, and our shared environment.

Our beautiful and spacious school grounds provide a calm and inspiring space for learning and play. The school features a Twenty-First Century Learning Centre with modern classrooms, a large, well-resourced library, dedicated AUSLAN and ART rooms, and a purpose-built sensory room, all interconnected to enhance collaboration. Our students enjoy specialist programs in Physical Education, Visual Arts, AUSLAN, and STEM, which support creativity, physical wellbeing, communication, and critical thinking. Technology supports our learning across all levels, with TV screens in every classroom, laptops for students in Years 3–6, and iPads for Foundation to Year 2, ensuring digital tools are accessible to all. 

We currently have 13 generalist classes, including:

• 2      Foundation classes
• 2      Year 1 classes
• 2      Year 2 classes
• 3      Year 3/4 composite classes
• 4      Year 5/6 composite classes

Meadows Primary School is committed to educational excellence and continuous improvement. Our staff participate in targeted professional learning aligned with the school’s strategic directions, aiming to build teacher capacity and improve student learning outcomes in literacy, numeracy, and wellbeing.

We are proud of our strong partnerships with Dallas Neighbourhood House, Banksia Gardens and MacKillop Family Services, which enable us to provide responsive, tailored support to students and families, ensuring that wellbeing, safety, and care remain at the centre of our school culture.

Adding to the vibrancy of our community is our large community garden, a space where learning, sustainability, and community connection come to life. Our garden is tended with care and expertise by our very own horticulturalist, who leads weekly Community Garden Groups every Thursday. Students and community members come together to plant, harvest, and cook with the vegetables grown on-site, creating powerful learning experiences around food, health, and sustainability.

Meadows also offers both a kindergarten, run by the Northern Schools Early Years Cluster, and a Community Hub that serves as the heart of our extended school family. Through the Hub, families have access to playgroups, Maternal Health Care Nurse services, community events, and a free Breakfast Club three mornings a week, served from our fully equipped kitchen. This makes Meadows a true Birth to Year 6 school and supports positive transitions and lasting community connections. 

Our Community Welcome Area is another inviting space that encourages family involvement and helps build a strong sense of belonging.

At Meadows Primary School, we believe that every child has the right to feel safe, included, and inspired to reach their full potential. 

Whether you’re a new family joining us or returning for another exciting year, I warmly welcome you to our school.
