Guildford West Public School
Guildford West Public School provides a safe and supportive quality learning environment for all its students. We represent a diverse cultural and socio-economic community. We endeavour to challenge each child to develop to the best of their ability. Guildford West utilises the principles of Positive Behaviour for Learning to ensure all members of our school community are safe, respectful, responsible and active learners. We address individual student needs and specific group needs through the collaborative development of Learning and Teaching Programs, school organisational structures and our school's Learning and Support Team. We have a multicategorical support unit at our school, utilising this opportunity to promote inclusive education fostering a harmonious community. Our school employs an Occupational Therapist and Speech Pathologist to cater for the individual needs of our students. We have a fully functional multi-sensory room which is utilised across the school. Our school encourages all students to participate in a broad range of experiences including leadership initiatives through a Student Representative Council; the development of sporting skills through highly successful school sporting programs, and Creative and Practical Arts through our Dance Groups, Choir and Drama Group. At Guildford West we strive to equip all students with the knowledge, skills and values needed to contribute effectively and successfully to society through a collaborative approach involving parents, staff, students and community.
