Glen Huntly Primary School has again achieved outstanding results in the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) this year. Over the past six years, our school has been among the top 50 schools in Victoria in NAPLAN. These excellent results reflect the school’s commitment to academic excellence and student development.

Glen Huntly Primary has demonstrated strong outcomes across all key domains: reading, writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation, and numeracy.

The school’s success can be attributed to its student-centred approach to teaching, which emphasizes individualized learning plans and targeted support for both high-achieving students and those requiring additional assistance. Teachers employ a range of innovative strategies, integrating technology and collaborative learning techniques to engage students and enhance their skills.

In particular, Glen Huntly Primary’s literacy programs have been highly effective, with students making significant progress in reading and writing. This is the result of a dedicated focus on early intervention programs, consistent reading practices, and fostering a love for literature through regular library sessions and literacy events. Numeracy outcomes have similarly excelled, supported by a curriculum that encourages problem-solving, critical thinking, and real-world applications of mathematical concepts.

The positive NAPLAN results are also a testament to the school’s strong partnership with parents and the wider community, ensuring that each student’s academic and emotional well-being is supported. The integration of welfare programs and extracurricular activities, like music and environmental clubs, ensures a holistic approach to education, promoting well-rounded student development.

Our school is performing well above neighbouring schools, and the State. It is excellent to see that the majority of our students perform in either the ‘exceeding’ or ‘strong’ categories. The school’s 2024 AIP targets this year have been surpassed with these results.
