Location Profile

Reservoir Views Primary School was established in 2009 following the merger of Keon Park Primary School and Burbank Primary School. Located in Reservoir, just 11 km north of Melbourne¿s CBD, our school provides a vibrant and inclusive learning environment.

Our modern buildings are purposefully designed to support collaborative teaching and learning. Flexible learning spaces allow teachers and students to work together or independently as required. Beyond the classroom, our extensive grounds offer rich opportunities for play and connection. Students enjoy active and passive play areas, a Vegetable Garden supported by our Garden to Plate program, and a sensory play space designed to promote inclusion, relaxation, and engagement. The school also features four playgrounds, a running track, a large sports field, and basketball and netball courts. A kindergarten has recently been constructed on school grounds and will enter operation in 2027.

Our Vision is to provide excellent educational opportunities in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment. We aim to instil a lifelong love of learning, celebrating both effort and achievement, with the belief that every student can thrive and go on to lead fulfilling lives.

Our school values, Courage, Curiosity, and Connection, form the foundation of our positive learning environment. Strong relationships between students, staff, and families are central to our culture, ensuring all members of our community feel supported, engaged, and connected. When students feel safe, challenged, and encouraged, they can aspire to be the best version of themselves.

Currently, 315 students are enrolled, with projected growth to 325 in 2027. Specialist programs are offered in Visual Art, Physical Education, Auslan, and Music.

We believe student success is strengthened through teacher collaboration and genuine partnerships with parents. All teachers work in teams to plan, teach, assess, and reflect together. Our flexible, open learning spaces further enhance collaboration and shared learning for both staff and students.

Reservoir Views Primary School proudly embraces diversity, reflecting the multicultural and socio-economic richness of our local community. A proportion of our students come from language backgrounds other than English, and we actively foster inclusion and cultural understanding. Community connections are strengthened through events and programs such as our annual Welcome Picnic, Harmony Day, school concerts and performances, Learning Expos and our Classroom Helpers Program.

We are committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes they will need for the future. Alongside a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, we encourage curiosity, creativity, and a deep understanding of the world around them.

• Reservoir Views Primary School is seeking an enthusiastic and committed educator who values collaboration, embraces continuous learning, and demonstrates flexibility, adaptability, and passion for education.

Effective teachers have precise knowledge about their students' understandings which they use to personalise all learning opportunities. Ongoing teacher and classroom support/coaching is provided by expert Literacy and Numeracy Leaders and additional assistance programs are in place for students in need of extra support. To further enhance classroom programs, access to technology is available in every classroom and has continued to be expanded to ensure we are one-to-one in years one to six and banks of ipads in Foundation.

Teachers collaboratively plan curriculum with the support of the Learning Specialists and PLC Leaders in their teaching teams to provide the best teaching and learning experiences for the students in all year levels throughout the school. The school recognises the importance of nurturing, accepting and utilising the school community¿s diverse talents, skills, knowledge and expertise to achieve outstanding performance, share roles and tasks, reduce workload, encourage professional growth and support effective teaching and learning. There continues to be a strong commitment to individual and whole school Professional Learning, teacher mentoring, coaching, classroom observations and feedback to improve teaching practice. Learning Specialists and Leaders support teachers and teams to improve and continually build capacity.
