The School Council has high expectations of student achievement particularly in Literacy and Numeracy.

Our focus is developing 21st century learners that are curious, imaginative, collaborative, tenacious, focused, empathetic,  risk taking and have the capacity to draft work and transfer knowledge cross curricula.

Student well-being is of a high priority at Orbost Primary School supported by the schools Student Well Being and Anti Bullying Policies.  We have high expectations on behaviour and work ethic and consistently work with families to ensure that the well-being of all students is catered for.

Programs that support student well-being include a school based welfare coordinator, the teaching of values to support a safe school environment and programs such as Life Education and Personal Development.
