Foster Primary School

Foster Primary School is a warm, caring and welcoming school with students at the centre of every decision we make. We aim to develop students who are confident, capable, creative lifelong learners. We believe that everyone can learn to learn. Resilience, reciprocity, resourcefulness and reflectiveness (Guy Claxton) are promoted and we always try our best!

Our First Step

At Foster, first known as Stockyard Creek because a yard had been constructed for travelling stock, gold was discovered in 1870. A small rush developed, and a township grew. William H Foster, Police Magistrate at Sale and Gold Commissioner for Gippsland, visited Stockyard Creek to administer justice. He objected to the name so a public meeting in 1871 decided to rename the place “Foster”.

Our First Step

As the new Principal of Foster Primary School, I have been impressed by the welcoming and nurturing environment of the school and the care that teachers invest in the children and families that attend the school.

As an Educational Leader, my belief is that all students deserve to access high quality educational opportunities and that this is achieved through providing high quality professional learning for all staff and encouraging deep engagement of students through the development of a culture of thinking. A culture of respect within a school is paramount and something we promote at Foster Primary School through our implementation of School Wide Positive Behaviour Support.

I look forward to letting all who are interested in our school know about our progress in the coming months and welcome newcomers to take a tour of our wonderful school.

Kind regards,

Lisa Branch
