Welcome to Calwell Primary School.
This website is designed to provide you with information about the wonderful programs, activities and features that make Calwell Primary School unique and special. Our school is child centred. We believe that every student has the right to learn in a safe, supportive environment where their individual needs will be met and they will be treated with respect. Our school motto Learn, Care Succeed captures the spirit of our school. We value diversity and strive to provide an inclusive environment for all students. Staff and students are encouraged to take pride in the school and to celebrate each other's achievements. An important way we promote and celebrate achievements is via our newsletter. You can read the current issue by selecting this link: Calwell Community Newsletter.
The preschool and primary years are vital in laying the foundation for developing the skills, attitudes and understandings that lead to lifelong learning. At Calwell a focus on the acquisition of literacy, numeracy and inquiry skills provides the essential platform for success. Scaffolding students' learning experiences and meeting their educational, social, emotional and physical needs is our focus. High expectations and quality are central to our daily work.
The commitment and professionalism of staff, the support of parents and the enthusiasm of our students combine to make Calwell primary School a great learning environment. I am proud be the educational leader of a school which will have a positive influence on the development of your child. I invite you to find out more about our school through this web site or to contact the school to arrange a visit. I look forward to welcoming you and your family.
