Welcome to our warm and collaborative school community. It is my privilege to be Principal of this wonderful school. At Modbury West School, we are committed to an inclusive education environment where students are known, valued and cared for, and where diversity is celebrated.
Our vision—“Together at Modbury West School, we empower curious, compassionate learners who live with integrity. Our students embrace challenge with determination and strive for excellence, creating a meaningful impact in our community and beyond”—guides all that we do. It reflects our shared belief that every child has the capacity to grow, contribute and thrive.

Developing respectful, high-quality relationships between students, staff and families is a fundamental part of who we are. Our values of Integrity, Curiosity, Compassion and Excellence are embedded in our daily practice. We support students to act with integrity and take responsibility for their learning, to be curious and engaged thinkers, to show compassion and care for others, and to pursue excellence through effort, persistence and pride in their achievements.

Students are at the heart of everything we do. Collectively, our aim is for all learners to become the best versions of themselves—academically, socially and emotionally. We encourage students to embrace challenge with determination, developing the confidence and skills to navigate an ever-changing world. From Reception to Year 6, our learning approaches are responsive to the diverse and evolving needs of our students.

This is made possible by our dedicated and talented team of teachers and support staff, who set high expectations for teaching and learning while continually refining their practice through professional learning and collaboration. We are committed to providing a future-focused education that nurtures each child’s potential and fosters a lifelong love of learning, via explicit direct instruction and inquiry pedagogy.

With a strong foundation in literacy and numeracy, alongside rich learning opportunities in digital technologies, science, performing arts, Japanese and physical education, students engage in a broad and balanced curriculum. These experiences, combined with a range of extra-curricular opportunities and our extensive, beautifully maintained grounds, create an engaging and inspiring environment where curiosity and exploration flourish.

I invite you to contact and visit us soon; we would be delighted to welcome your family into the Modbury West School community. Organised tours are available throughout the year, and we encourage you to see our school in action.

I look forward to working in partnership with you to provide an outstanding public education for your child.

Warm regards,

Troy Pathon
Principal
Modbury West School
