At Ascot Vale PS, we're redefining school design by prioritizing personalized teaching and community partnerships. Our new Learning Studio concept incorporates input from students, parents, and staff, creating spaces that foster collaboration and active learning. By integrating diverse community resources—such as artists, health specialists, and local groups—we aim to enhance educational experiences and support families beyond the classroom. This innovative design not only enriches academic engagement but also promotes well-being and interconnectedness throughout the community.
