Moonee Ponds West Primary School, established in 1888, is situated in a quiet residential area of Moonee Ponds, an inner North Western suburb of Melbourne. Enrolment is currently 500 students. The school has a DEECD approved enrolment ceiling of 500 pupils. It is expected that there will be continued pressure on our enrolment ceiling over the next three years. The majority of the students are from the immediate locality, but an increasing number of students are drawn from an area that extends outside this area.
The guiding philosophy at Moonee Ponds West is respect for the rights and responsibilities of students, staff and parents. Moonee Ponds West is staffed by caring professionals who are committed to excellence and who believe in and follow a collaborative decision making process. Children are listened to and respected as individuals. Staff and students address each other using first names. There is a high expectation that all children will learn and develop to their full potential.
Moonee Ponds West strives to be a happy, positive, safe and caring school.
