Churchill North Primary school

Our school values a safe, caring and supportive environment and involved students in developing our agreed values of – trust, courage, patience, teamwork, co-operation, respect, listening & responsibility.

A comprehensive curriculum is provided in all key learning areas; with specialist classes in ICT, Art, Sport & Mandarin. Religious education is optional for students in Grades Prep – 2.

The Sound Way program is a new initiative which supports students in reading, writing & spelling results within the school.

Staff actively use digital technology – such as flip cameras, interactive whiteboards, visualizers, laptops and ipads to enhance student learning; this is an exciting opportunity to further enhance the use of technology and educational outcomes of students.

We pride ourselves on providing relevant learning programs; setting attainable goals; considering the individual needs and differences of students; promoting excellence and building the self-esteem of all students.  We believe that learning can be fostered in a socially supportive environment, which is positive, caring, happy, friendly and stimulating.

Our school hosts a whole school drama program where students participate in an annual school production; this is eagerly anticipated by students, staff and the community.
A concert band is coordinated within the school as an after-school program.

Students are well represented in leadership positions within the school – we currently have an active Junior School Council, and positions of School Captain, Vice-Captain and Sports House Captains.
We have a range of programs in place that promotes the leadership development of students; these programs develop a cohesive & friendly atmosphere in our school.

The school conducts a weekly afternoon assembly where students and parents assemble to recognise group and individual achievements and promote excellence and school/community values.

All schools rely heavily on the efforts of parents and volunteers to provide additional assistance; I must congratulate the Parents & Helpers Association for their commitment to the school.
A number of parents participate in class programs, special days, excursions and swimming. Fundraising activities are exciting for students; canteen and special activities are an added benefit for students during the term.
