School Profile
At Stockdale Road Primary School our core purpose is to develop adaptable, responsible, positive and innovative members of a global and changing world.
We believe that every child is capable of outstanding achievements and that every child has the right to an education that unlocks their potential.
Stockdale Road was established in 1951 and currently has a student enrolment of 400. Located approximately 160 kilometres east of Melbourne, the school is situated in a quiet, safe residential area within walking distance of the Central Business District with its recreational facilities and cultural venues. It is in close proximity to four Pre-Schools and the Secondary College. We are one of four Government Primary Schools in the Traralgon area.
Stockdale Road is a school with many generations of families having begun their educational journey with us and established a proud tradition over the years, with particular linkages to past and present teachers.
The buildings and grounds have undergone extensive improvements over recent years both internally and externally to create an innovative educational environment for students.
Classrooms are sited in three wings off central courtyards providing safe and easy access for students, parents and visitors. Spacious grounds provide a pleasant treed environment with quiet shady areas, adventure playgrounds, large grassed areas and oval, sand pits and ample asphalt areas.
The school facilities include eighteen classrooms, an administration area, a library and ICT centre, well equipped art room, multi-purpose room, music room, language room, music tutoring room and new toilets.
Stockdale Road has developed a solid foundation of policies and processes which through consistent application have assisted to establish:
Positive and constructive learning outcomes for students
Student behaviour that promotes self esteem, student resilience, independence and fosters cooperation between students and staff; and
A sense of pride in our students to promote a positive image of the school within the community.
The school caters for students from Prep to Year 6, offering a seven year sequential program based on the Victorian Essential Learning Standards.
