Orrvale Primary School is three kilometres east of Shepparton. There are 400 students at the school from diverse cultures drawn from the surrounding rural area and Shepparton. Orrvale is a large school providing the advantages of a rural environment with a strong family atmosphere ensuring students and staff are known and valued by each other.
The school's stimulating environment allows students to:
- think clearly, independently and critically;
- develop a sense of identity, achievement and worth;
- co-operate, share and work with others;
- be tolerant of other ways of thinking and behaving;
- experience technologies that will prepare them for 21st Century learning.
- become self extending learners;
- interact with students from other schools in sporting activities.
Parents play a strong role in the school community through School Council and sub-committees, Parents / Friends Club, curriculum programs and fund raising activities. The school is an active member of a local network of primary and secondary schools. A blend of youth and experience has encouraged a renewed freshness and enthusiasm among all staff.
