Welcome to Montello Primary School

Montello Primary School is situated in a park setting near the Burnie City Centre. Nearby are Burnie Aquatic Centre Police and Citizens Youth Club. The school has created strong community partnerships, in order to fulfil our mission of Making People Shine, assisting all students to maximise their learning that they might confidently face the challenges ahead of them as independent lifelong learners.

At Montello Primary we strive to build quality relationships within our community between students teachers and parents. We recognise parents as the child's first educators and believe in creating partnerships to optimise learning. In addition to the core learning areas we offer a range of support programs such as LIFT, LIL, Literacy Intervention, Keeping Kids Connected, BillyCATS, a Life Skills program, pre-Kinder Learners Program, Physical Education, ICT, Kitchen & Garden, Water Awareness and Learn to Swim programs and Breakfast Club.

We treat the responsibility of educating children very seriously and encourage both formal and informal opportunities to meet and to build a team approach to improve learning outcomes for all children.

Scooters & skateboards

03 Aug 2020

Monday 3^rd August, 2020

Dear %%first_name%%,

As of today, Monday 3^rd August, 2020, we have made a decision as a school to ban scooters and skateboards on the school grounds. The reason for this is because of the safety concerns regarding the majority of students that have been riding scooters to school.

Unfortunately these students have repeatedly not listened to instructions from multiple adults in the school, on multiple occasions. We have received phone calls from the public about unsafe riding on the streets before and after school and several students have continually ridden their scooters through the busy carpark even though they are aware that the expectation is that they walk their scooters once on the property. Some students have not always worn helmets and not stopped to speak to adults when asked to do so.

There has only been a small numbers of students that ride their scooters to school regularly and it is unfortunate for those students who have done the right thing that this measure needs to be taken but ensuring the safety of our students and limiting the opportunity for a serious incident to occur are our main priorities.

Starting from today if students bring a skateboard or scooter on to the school property we will keep the scooter or skateboard at the office until it can be collected by the child’s parent or carer.

Bikes are still permitted and we remind students to always wear a helmet and to walk their bikes once on the school property.

Thanks for your ongoing support to help ensure the safety of all students at Montello.

Yours sincerely,

Denise Wotherspoon Dion McCall
Principal Assistant Principal
