IF YOU BELIEVE THAT STAFF WELLBEING AND A POSITIVE WORKPLACE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY, LOLLYPOP CREEK PS MIGHT JUST BE THE RIGHT EDUCATIONAL SETTING FOR YOU! 

OUR STAFF OPINION SURVEY RESULTS SPEAKS VOLUMES ABOUT THE POSITIVE CULTURE AND CLIMATE WE HAVE ESTABLISHED AT OUR AMAZING SCHOOL!

With shared language around wellbeing, and structures and processes to minimise work-related stress in place, all newly appointed teachers will feel supported and become part of a positive and supportive school community.

Lollypop Creek Primary School was established in 2023 and is located approximately 30 kilometres west of Melbourne. Our school has space for 525 local students and is open for enrolments for students in Prep to Grade 6. Our school grounds are bounded by sparkling waterways and situates itself close to Harpley Town Centre. Most students that attend our school live locally and either walk or ride their bike to school. Lollypop Creek Primary School has developed close ties to our local community and enjoy support from our local shops and community services.

Our school is culturally diverse with many families having a language background other than English (LOTE). We are proud of our diversity and inclusive school community.

Our dedicated staff and families are committed to supporting each child to set goals and take pride in their achievements in a safe and caring learning environment. We articulate the behaviours to support our vision by implementing these school rules:

  • I am safe
  • I am respectful
  • I am ready to learn

Our students also benefit from having teachers with a range of different experiences and skills working together in teams, to support the learning of all students. We offer a broad curriculum based on building strong foundations in Literacy and Numeracy. Our curriculum is further enhanced by outstanding specialist programs in Physical Education, Visual Art, LOTE (Auslan), Science and Performing Arts.
