Welcome to Primary!

Our Primary campus is a place of growing and learning. Across our campus, children’s smiles and positive attitudes always inspire a sense of belonging. Dynamic, flexible learning opportunities foster critical thinking, confidence, positive relationships, and Christian understanding.

Laying the Foundation

As children begin Prep, their understanding of the world grows with them. Our developmentally appropriate, evidence-based curriculum offers rich opportunities for our learners to grow into confident readers, writers and creators. Daily devotions and Christian Studies allow our students to learn more about the God who loves them. There is also a wide range of curricular and co-curricular elements which combine to support holistic development for each child.

Working Together

Our students are encouraged to develop positive relationships with their peers both in and out of the classroom. A range of cultural activities including bands and choirs, art clubs and instrumental music allow students to showcase their learning through performances and exhibitions. On the sporting field, our students have opportunities to develop their skills and compete against other schools as teams, and to trial as individuals to compete at regional and state levels.

A Caring Community

The wellbeing of our Primary students and community is enhanced by learning valuable skills in how to get along with others through URSTRONG’s ‘Friendology 101’ program. This is an age-appropriate and evidence-based program that utilises child-friendly language to encourage our students to build and maintain healthy friendships.

TESTIMONIAL

I so enjoy coming to school each day. There’s such a sense of belonging here. I love finding the gold in each student, and drawing that out.

Westside—a wonderful education, school friends, and families—the best! So yes, bring your children to this school. It is so worth it!
Kathy Accutt, Parent
One staff member had a huge impact on me and shaped the person I am today. Now a teacher here, I still marvel at the care and time teachers invest in students.
Steven Johnson, Teacher & former student
I really valued having positive relationships and honest conversations with my teachers. I was able to take their advice without offence, and that enabled me to work better.
