Orchard Park Primary School
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to our school website. I am truly honoured to have been appointed as the founding Principal of Orchard Park Primary School. I welcome all visitors to our school website, including all of our current families and also any potential future families.
We are very fortunate to have such wonderful, spacious grounds and state of the art facilities here at Orchard Park Primary School. Our Learning Community buildings are designed around modifiable spaces that accommodate multiple learning approaches and can flexibly respond to the requirements of students and teachers, creating a sense of shared ownership, inclusion and everyday learning. Our other buildings include a competition size gymnasium, a specific specialist building (arts, STEM and food technology) and a spacious library attached to our administration building. Our grounds allow for students to play and socialise with their peers in a range of engaging spaces and environments.
Orchard Park Primary School will operate within the Professional Learning Community framework, where student outcomes will always be at the core of everything we do. Our school motto to ‘Go Further Together’ will be lived through the daily practice of our entire school community. We strongly believe that learning is ongoing and a lifelong experience for students, teachers and parents. Together we can always achieve greater results for the students we serve at Orchard Park Primary School. Our school has dedicated and professional educators who are committed to working together with this approach always at the front of their minds.
Our website offers a snap shot of life at Orchard Park Primary School and we will continue to build upon the information we include on this platform. For further information, we encourage you to contact our office to organise an opportunity for you to learn more about our incredible school.
