Silverton Primary School values the learning and development of our staff, and the positive impact this has on students, outcomes and school improvement.

We are proud to share that Nicola Connor, Naomi Placensia and Robyn Howard have applied, and been accepted into the Teaching Excellence Program at the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership.

This year long program provides teachers with the opportunity to advance their capabilities and excellence in teaching.

Through the program, Niki, Naomi and Robyn will increase their knowledge of teaching by participating in 10 professional learning days and collaborating with other educators and will have the chance to learn from both national and international experts in the field of education. 

We look forward to learning from Niki, Naomi and Robyn as we work together to implement the knowledge and skills they take away from the program in a contiunued effort to improve student outcomes in learning and wellbeing here at Silverton. 

We are so proud to have Niki, Naomi and Robyn representing our school and supporting the Academy in raising the status of this amazing profession.

Celebrating Excellence – Jules Perang 99.2 ATAR

We are so proud to celebrate the outstanding achievement of a past student from Silverton, Jules Perang who recently received an ATAR of 99.2. We are especially proud to celebrate his academic achievements from his schooling time through Silverton Primary School and Mazenod College. Throughout his time at Silverton he participated in many extension and extracurricular activities and this continued in his time at Mazenod as an academic scholar.

On Monday last week, Mrs Golotta had the privilege of attending the Day of Excellence Assembly at Mazenod College, where the outstanding achievements of Jules was recognised and celebrated. The strong foundational skills he built during their primary school years at Silverton Primary School were also recognised and acknowledged.

 His hard work, perseverance and tenacity with academic study has been pleasure to watch over the years. Congratulations Jules, we wish you every success in the future! 

We are always so proud to hear of the achievements of our past students.
