A Message From

Our Principal

At Selby Primary School, we are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where every student is encouraged to reach their full potential. Our vision is to “provide a caring, inclusive, and supportive learning environment where student voice is valued and encouraged”. We believe that education is not only about academic success, but also about developing confidence, resilience, creativity, and a strong sense of responsibility.

Our dedicated staff have a shared goal of wanting to make a positive difference (social, emotional and academic) to every child and they work collaboratively to provide high-quality learning experiences that challenge and support each student. We also recognise that every child learns differently. That’s why we take a personalised approach, meeting each student at their point of need, helping them build on their strengths, and supporting them to reach their full potential.

Our everyday interactions whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or through extracurricular opportunities are reflected through our school values of Respect, Personal Best, Resilience and Confidence; our goal is to help every student grow into a capable and compassionate individual.

We value strong partnerships with families and the wider community, as we know that working together plays a vital role in student success.

Our students are motivated learners and we are fortunate to have supportive, committed families that are active participants in their child’s learning journey. We pride ourselves on being a collaborative learning community and we both encourage and provide opportunities to strengthen the home-school partnership.

I invite you to explore our website and learn more about what makes our school “a place to belong”.

I am proud to be the leader and a part of the highly motivated, professional and caring staff, providing programs that develop excellence, initiative, co-operation and independence as we prepare our students for their future.

We welcome prospective parents and students for our school tours every Tuesday morning at 11:30am and Wednesday morning at 9:15am during the school term. Other appointments can be made by contacting the school office on 9754 2675.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
