Our school provides a comprehensive and engaging learning program which ensures that all students have the opportunity to develop the foundational knowledge, skills and dispositions that will enable them to enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.
A vibrant community, Hawthorn West Primary School welcomes the active participation of all members of the school community and is committed to working effectively together, to ensure an inclusive environment within which, every learner feels safe, valued and understood.
There is a strong focus on academic excellence, as well as opportunities for students to explore new passions and become curious and confident learners. Learning at Hawthorn West reflects the realities of life and ensures that students develop the critical attitudes and values which will inspire them to contribute positively, to their school and local community, as responsible and engaged citizens.
