At Northam Primary School we cater for students from Kindergarten to Year 6 and currently have just over 300 students. Our students come from the local town and from the outlying farms and rural properties.
Our school fosters a safe and inclusive learning environment; we focus on building positive relationships with students, their parents and carers and with the wider community. Our staff, comprising of newly graduated teachers through to teachers with many years of experience and our experienced and dedicated non-teaching staff, work together to develop individual potential through excellence in education. We have specialist teachers in science, music, languages and sport and a learning support co-ordinator.
We aim to provide our students with a well-rounded high quality education. We believe in developing the understandings, skills and attitudes relevant to individual needs, enabling students to fulfil their potential and contribute positively to the development of our society.
