PRINCIPAL'S WELCOME
Welcome to the wonderful Ararat Primary School 800.
Ararat Primary School 800 is a vibrant, engaging and positive place to be. We pride ourselves on providing a curriculum that engages all students by offering pathways that meet a diverse range of learning needs.
Our dedicated staff design and implement a comprehensive teaching and learning program, which includes individualised programs for students with special learning needs, extension programs for high achieving students and, most of all, we offer a teaching and learning program that continually monitors and responds to the needs of every individual.
Our School Values of Aspiration, Respect, Resilience and Courage are explicitly taught through our School Wide Positive Behaviour Support Program, which is embedded in all aspects of learning at our school.
Ararat 800 is well known in the region as a leader in the Creative, Visual and Performing Arts. Our annual school production showcases the sophisticated skills our students acquire throughout their time at Ararat Primary 800. We also offer a number of unique extra-curricular programs including music lessons, circus, performing arts, visual arts, bands and choir.
In addition to Performing and Visual Arts, we have a comprehensive Physical Education and Sports Program which is undertaken by all students. It offers them the opportunity to improve personal health and fitness, and to take part in local and interschool sporting competitions. In conjunction with this, we have a Swimming Program for all students, conducted in partnership with the local fitness centre, and our Physical Education Teaching and Support staff.
For over 150 years, Ararat Primary School 800 has developed and maintained a strong connection to the community we serve. We are committed to working in close partnership with our parents and wider community and facilitate a number of formal and informal events throughout the year, which celebrate, and further strengthen this connection.
There are more than 800 reasons to attend Ararat Primary School 800 and we would welcome the opportunity to take you on a formal tour of our wonderful school.
