About our school

As a small, local, community school, Clarendon Primary boasts an historic and stunning location which provides a backdrop for quality teaching and learning in an environment that is welcoming, inclusive and friendly.

Clarendon Primary is characterised by committed, experienced, dedicated and professional staff, loyal and supportive families and children who are engaged, caring and active learners. We’re a community school that has long valued the roles that environmental education, active, ethical and healthy lifestyles, natural play, engaging curriculum and positive connections play in educating children for the twenty first century.

Our shared vision for the future is one of high-quality educational outcomes being achieved in an innovative, connected and compassionate community school. We believe Clarendon is a strong, unique local school that collaborates closely with other sites, community groups and service providers in our region including Clarendon Kindergarten and Kangarilla Primary School.

Clarendon Primary School strives to give every learner a voice and encourages a growth mindset and powerful learning attributes in all our stakeholders: staff, students and families alike. We take a strength-based approach to every aspect of school life and encourage reflection, improvement and progress through a shared accountability model for teaching and learning.

The work of our school aims to build the human faculties in our learners, equipping them with the essential skills in communication, collaboration, creativity, problem solving and empathy. This approach is strengthened by a commitment to connected relationships and a rigorous R-6 implementation of best practice in numeracy and literacy pedagogy.

Welcome to our small school and great community.

At our school, students can learn and grow in a safe, inclusive and supportive environment.
