KERANG South is a fantastic place to learn and grow.
Principle Lyn Veall said what sets the school apart was that is welcomes all children.
"We see South as being the perfect fit for our kids," she said
"Our vision is for every individual to thrive as a learner and we do this through our community values of learning, growth, inclusiveness, responsibility and community spirit, which all sit under our overarching value of 'respect'.
"We aim to develop happy, confident, resilient and curious learners."
Ms Veall said the school was looking forward to the multi-million dollar upgrade in 2022, creating a new learning space.
"We like to think of ourselves as a boutique school – big enough to offer everything that a big school can offer but small enough that everyone knows each other like one big, happy family," she said.
"Wellbeing is extremely important to us. We endeavour to provide a caring, safe and inclusive environment and the qualities we nurture go well beyond just achieving academic excellence.
"Together we strive to help every child to reach their full potential and be good citizens and leaders who know how to contribute to making our school an even better place."
Kerang South is a Better Buddies school (Alannah and Madeline Foundation) so every student has a buddy student and a buddy teacher to look out for their wellbeing.
"Louie, our wellbeing dog, has also created so much positivity within the school and we love the way he lifts our spirit and makes us smile," Ms Veall said.
"We are very proud of our students and the way they embrace new students and make them feel welcome. Their friendliness is noticeable from the moment you step into the grounds.
"Our caring and dedicated staff are committed to working together to deliver a comprehensive, challenging and stimulating curriculum which is rich in learning experiences."
Art, music, PE, health, Indonesian, library and the humanities are built around the strong foundations of literacy, numeracy and STEM (one of a select number of schools to be a Primary Maths Science Specialist school).
"We are interested in developing the whole child, as we understand that every child has different abilities, interests and strengths that we need to build upon," Ms Veall said.
"At Kerang South, we are so proud of our warm and welcoming vibe and invite you to visit our school to experience this for yourself."
