Location Profile
Kismet Park Primary School currently has an enrolment of 370 students and is located in the leafy green area of Gum Tree Hills estate in an established part of Sunbury. We border developing communities of Sunbury Fields and the upcoming community of Sherwood Rise.
Kismet Park Primary School is proud of the strong reputation our school maintains within the local area. We are renowned for offering high quality programs within a warm and welcoming community. Our highly skilled staff provide a safe, secure and engaging learning environment. We are a school that supports collaboration with a focus on continuous improvement.
Our vision is to ignite a passion for learning in our students and equip them with the skills and mindset to thrive and achieve excellence.
Kismet Park Primary School operates on shared beliefs and understandings of:
1. All children can learn given the right time and the right support.
2. Shared responsibility and accountability – we all own all the FACES!
3. Differentiation through personalised learning, goal setting, conferences and feedback improves student capacity for learning and engagement.
4. High expectations and early and ongoing interventions are essential.
5. Principal as lead learner.
These beliefs and understandings are underpinned by a culture of high trust and respect.
Our teachers are dedicated professionals who value collaboration and work within the PLC Inquiry Model. Our learning and teaching programs follow the school’s Instructional Model that embeds the HITS in all aspects of the learning and teaching programs. In 2023 we continued to support and extend our students through DET’s Tutor Learning Initiative model.
We have developed robust student wellbeing practices and implement the School Wide Positive Behaviour framework, with a focus on being proactive when supporting our students to be respectful, responsible and safe learners. We instil respect and an inclusive culture through supporting our students to adopt restorative practices to improve and repair relationships.
The wellbeing of our staff and students is paramount. In 2022 we introduced Martin Seligman’s PERMAH model which steps through five elements that are essential to human wellbeing and flourishing: positive emotion, relationships, meaning, accomplishment and health. Our leaders use this model to encourage others to flourish, and to understand how they can improve their own wellbeing.
Kismet Park Primary School seeks educators who are dedicated, self-reflective, lifelong learners and committed to working collaboratively.
