Welcome to our school community website.
Scottsdale Primary School has approximately 250 students enrolled from Kindergarten to Grade 6. We are the largest primary school on the picturesque North East Coast of Tasmania. Our school was originally on two campuses; early childhood and primary. The early childhood campus was then relocated to the primary campus resulting in our school comprising of a mix of old and new buildings on spacious grounds.
From our principal
Scottsdale Primary School prides itself on the quality of education we offer. Our school motto is ‘Aim High’ and we strive to provide an inclusive teaching and learning environment that has a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and respectful relationships. We endeavour to get each child to reach their full potential.
Our school programs begin from birth to four with our Launching into Learning initiative, Kindergarten underpinned by the Early Years Framework and Prep to Grade 6 by the Australian Curriculum Framework. Students have specialist lessons in Health and Physical Education, ICT and Music.
The wellbeing of our students is critical. We build relationships through a school wide positive behaviour support approach encompassing our three school rules of Be safe, Be fair, Show care and the Tasmanian Education Department’s values; Aspirational, Growth, Courage and Respect, which have been adopted as our school values.
Our team of dedicated and caring staff work hard to ensure that students get the most from school. If you would like to know more about us after reading the information provided here on our website, please contact us.
We look forward to meeting you and the possibility of you joining our school community.
