A small school with a big sense of community

For families considering their educational choices for 2027, San Remo Primary School offers something that can be difficult to put into a brochure: a genuine sense of belonging.

At the heart of San Remo Primary is its community. As a relatively small school, every child is known - not simply by their name, but for their personality, strengths, interests and individual learning needs.

Staff take the time to build strong relationships with students and families, creating a welcoming environment where children feel supported, valued and confident to be themselves.

That close-knit feeling is evident from the very beginning.

San Remo Primary places a strong emphasis on transition, helping children feel comfortable and connected before they even start the school year.

Its buddy programs create relationships between younger and older students, while prospective Prep students have multiple opportunities to visit their classroom and meet staff.

Students across the school also spend time with their future teachers before the new school year begins.

Learning is at the centre of school life, with evidence-based teaching providing strong foundations in literacy and numeracy while encouraging curiosity, creativity and critical thinking.

But what makes learning at San Remo special is the way the school makes the most of its surroundings.

Students learn beyond the classroom through visits to the local library, parks, businesses and community activities, helping them understand and connect with the place they call home.

There is also plenty happening beyond the everyday classroom. Students can take part in camps, sporting competitions, music, performing and visual arts, STEM, environmental projects and leadership opportunities.

The school band, annual concerts and sporting events give students opportunities to discover new interests, while programs such as Let's TALK help children develop empathy, confidence and the skills to support one another.

Student leadership is another important part of school life. From Prep through to Year 6, students have opportunities to have their voices heard through the SRC, house and sports leadership and other school activities.

The Year 6 and Prep buddy program is a particular highlight, with older students mentoring younger children and helping them feel safe and connected.

Perhaps most importantly, San Remo Primary knows how to celebrate being a school community.

Events such as the school's 100 Days of Prep celebration bring everyone together, while family learning events give parents and carers the chance to share in their children's achievements and learning.

And there is plenty to look forward to in 2027.

Major building works are underway, with new classrooms, administration facilities, student toilets and shared learning spaces set to provide an exciting upgrade to the school environment.

For families looking for a school where children are known, relationships matter and the wider community becomes part of learning, San Remo Primary offers a compelling choice.

Prospective families are warmly invited to visit the school, meet the staff and students and experience the community for themselves.

A school tour is being held on Wednesday, September 9 at 9.30am. Families unable to attend can contact the school on 5678 5354 to arrange a visit.

At San Remo Primary, being a great school is about more than what happens in the classroom.

It is about creating a place where children feel known, families feel welcome and every student has the opportunity to belong, learn and thrive.
