Save Warrane Primary School

The Tasmanian Labor Party wishes to close down this vital part of our growing community to reclaim money that was over spent whilst being in government.

Warrane Primary School is located on Cambridge Road in spacious grounds and has a long and Proud tradition of serving the educational needs of families from Warrane, Mornington and Flagstaff Gully. The campus has long been seen as a Centre of Learning in the area with Adult Education and the University of the Third Age being co-located within the school grounds. Whilst considerably smaller now, than in past years, the current enrolment of 149 students allows for a full range of educational and social programs in a supportive and pastoral environment.

Warrane has currently undergone a refurbishment of all classrooms. This has provided the whole school with modern state of the art teaching and learning spaces. Combine this with small class numbers, an exceptionally skilled teaching staff and varied specialist programs including Music, Physical Education and Japanese, and an excellent learning environment exists at Warrane Primary. Our school community strongly believes that the teaching of Literacy and Numeracy is everyone's responsibility.

Our programs feature an emphasis on one to one student intervention in the early childhood years with programs like Reading Recovery and "Bridges". Teacher assistants and senior staff are utilised in all classes during our ""Literacy Block"" to lower the teacher-pupil ratio ensuring effective teaching and learning for all students. This has been enhanced by Warrane Primary School continued participation in the Raising the Bar, Closing the Gap state government initiative. The addition of an Assistant Principal and a specialist literacy team to the school's leadership team further enhances the school's ability to keep class sizes lower and deliver a quality educational program to all students.

Early intervention and building solid relationships with families before their children reach school age continues to be high priority. Launching into Learning activities for the 0–4 age group continue to be highly successful.

Warrane Primary continues to strive towards providing an inviting, safe and nurturing physical environment for students. The major infrastructure program include the refurbishment of both primary end early childhood playgrounds under the "Pride in our Schools" program and the Library, Music and Administration redevelopments under the "Building the Education Revolution" program. It is considered the HUB of our community located within walking distance for around 80% of our students Keep our SCHOOL OPEN and keep our community CONNECTED.
