Canadian Lead Primary School is a modern, well-resourced school with all classrooms and learning spaces within the one building, providing a sense of connection and community. Our school was founded in the 1990's, following the merger of three local primary schools. Physical resources include 11 classrooms, an art room, a movement room, a large library, gymnasium, kitchen area (used for Breakfast Club and OSHC) and additional open communal spaces. Outdoor features include a soccer oval, football oval, basketball courts, vegetable gardens and three separate outdoor playground spaces. Enrolments have ranged from 210 - 230 over the past two years. 7% of students are Indigenous and approximately 5% have a language background other than English. Our SFOE is higher than average, indicating a level of disadvantage amongst some members of our school community. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive school community.
Our school is a welcoming and inclusive community. Our dedicated staff work collaboratively to provide quality and engaging classroom, wellbeing, specialist, and extra-curricular programs. Teachers, parents and carers work together to ensure the very best outcomes for our students, so students experience success at school and in life. We are committed to a high level of academic achievement for our students, with an equal focus on wellbeing and social support so that all students reach their potential.
The programs of, and teaching in, Canadian Lead Primary School will support and promote the principals and practices of Australian democracy including a commitment to: an elected government; the rule of law; equal rights for all before the law; freedom of religion; freedom of speech and association; the values of openness and tolerance.
