Scarborough Primary School, established in 1934, is proud of its heritage as the very first school in Scarborough and the learning environment it provides that will equip our students with skills and abilities for their future in an ever changing world. The staff at Scarborough Primary School are enthusiastic, experienced and dedicated to the students' learning. We have close links with neighbouring schools, sharing professional knowledge and practice in order to provide students with a relevant and motivating learning experience. Our strong focus on literacy and numeracy is integrated throughout the curriculum and the Australian Curriculum is fully incorporated into these areas.
At Kinross Primary School we know that the reason we are all here is to ensure that our students achieve personal success, whether in academic or non-academic pursuits. We believe that an explicit focus on effective teaching and social and emotional well being will create the conditions necessary for our students to achieve their potential. Therefore, classroom practice exemplifies our beliefs about teaching and learning. At Kinross, we put students first. Additional support services include a school psychologist who attends weekly to provide staff and parents with professional guidance and to facilitate case conferences, a school Chaplain, a community health nurse and West Coast District PEAC Centre. These services complement the extensive resources made available to the Kinross Primary community. Find out more about us:
