Gisborne Primary School has been serving its rural community for over 150 years. At the start of 2010 they were 381 students enrolled (consisting of 252 families) with 27 staff and 4 integration aides. The student population has grown significantly in recent years from 309 in 2004 to current numbers.
The school is designated within Like Schools Group 1 which means a very low Language Background other than English and low EMA (approximately 15%). The school has developed and expanded with the township itself and boasts modern functional buildings and facilities. It has links with its local community and shares a strong association with three large primary schools, one secondary college and several pre-schools in the area.
The school's attractive grounds and extensive facilities provide a stimulating and safe learning environment for children, where they are supported in their pursuit of excellence and in the realisation of their maximum potential. There is a mixture of modern and historic buildings on the site. The school features well equipped technology areas (with computers in all classrooms), an ICT area with internet facilities, a computerised library, teacher resource and withdrawal areas, a gymnasium, a canteen, visual arts room, music facilities, junior school and upper school playground areas and well maintained oval and grounds.
Gisborne Primary School has made a commitment to having the lowest possible class sizes in order to achieve an optimum learning environment.
The School’s motto is ‘Caring’ and this is featured as a logo on the school’s uniform. The school focuses on the belief that every student has the ability to strive for excellence and that this occurs in a safe, happy and positive environment.
