Welcome to Canberra Primary School’s website. We hope that it gives you a flavour of daily life at Canberra.
At Canberra Primary School our pupils are at the heart of everything that we do and we constantly strive to ensure that they are provided with a happy and safe learning environment where they receive the encouragement, challenge and support they require to achieve.
Canberra Primary School is an inclusive school where children are treated as individuals and nurtured to develop their skills and abilities. We have high expectations of all of our children and recognise that they need opportunities to be both successful and challenged if they are to become independent, self-motivated and resilient. We believe that the wide range of fun and creative learning opportunities provided combined with our caring ethos creates the conditions necessary for our children to achieve.
The partnership between home and school is central to our success and we aim to ensure that all parents and carers have the information they need to support their child. We hope that the information, photographs and news articles available on our website helps to achieve this aim.

Dear children, parents and carers,
I am delighted to introduce myself for the first time to you all as the new head teacher of Canberra Primary and Nursery Class, and looking forward to meeting all the pupils returning tomorrow, and families over the coming weeks.
The staff have already extended the warmest of welcomes to me, and have been busy preparing classrooms and making plans for a positive start to the school year for our children.
There is plenty more information to come about school life and plans in the days and weeks ahead, so please keep any eye out for messages via ParentsPortal, email or pupil post. But I would ask for a little of your patience as I learn 'how things are done' the Canberra way!
For our new Primary 1 starts, I'm excited to be sharing your official first day of school tomorrow, and look forward to meeting you and your families in the morning.
Best wishes,
Mrs. Louise Crawshaw
