Campbell Primary

Campbell Primary School is a learning community where teachers, parents and students work collaboratively and are committed to focusing on high levels of learning for all. The school’s central purpose is to educate and prepare students to lead fulfilling, purposeful and productive lives.  The professional educators at Campbell Primary School work in partnership to build a shared knowledge centering on evidence based practice in the areas of curriculum, pedagogy and assessment to ensure each child can thrive through the delivery of an innovative and creative curriculum.
As a community we build and nurture a dynamic and safe learning environment for our students through social emotional learning programs and the promotion of our core values. We pride ourselves on our learning community focus and celebrate strong community partnerships which enrich and support student learning.
As a learning community we welcome all members to contribute to the decision making process and invite parents to be actively involved through our P&C and School Board.  We encourage all families to read our School Strategic Plan (available on the website under community/school board) to develop an awareness of the school improvement agenda and future directions of Campbell Primary School.
Campbell Primary School has the services of a school psychologist for one and a half days each week. Psychologists have a range of skills which enable them to assist students, parents and teachers with issues that can affect the student’s educational progress and adjustment.
We have a specialist music teacher who teaches the Junior and Senior School Choirs and the P&C offers a music tutor program. Music skills are further developed by class teachers and all classes participate in a whole school community singing
Campbell Primary School is a member of the ACT Instrumental Music Program. The Instrumental Music Program (I.M.P.) is a section of the Department of Education which provides our school (and many others in the ACT) with a package of services designed to supplement the music education of up to 22 selected students in Years 5 and 6. At Campbell Primary School we currently have a Year 5 and a Year 6 brass band. To enter the band program, students are assessed at the end of Year 4 for musical strengths (including ability to differentiate pitch, rhythm and dynamics) and classroom work habits. Then early in the following year, placements are offered to 22 students. The Instrumental Music Program provides the school with a specialist band teacher for two sessions a week during class time and the loan of instruments for the duration of the program. Students also have two follow up lessons with the school band teacher during lunchtime.
