Somers Primary School

Welcome to Somers Primary School, a beloved institution nestled in the picturesque beachside community of Somers, just 250 meters away from the stunning shores of Westernport Bay. Established in 1937, our school has grown over the years while still maintaining a warm and intimate atmosphere, where every child and their family are personally known.

At Somers Primary School, we firmly believe that learning and development are the keys to a successful future. That's why we employ evidence-based approaches to support our students' growth and ensure they are happy, engaged, and making great progress. Our dedicated staff focuses on maximizing each child's learning across all aspects of the curriculum, including English, Mathematics, Science, Health and Physical Education, The Arts, Personal and Social Learning, Humanities, Languages, and Digital Technologies.

Creating a safe and secure environment for our students is paramount to us. We work tirelessly to support their positive mental health and draw upon research-based approaches to ensure their overall well-being. Our goal is to make learning fun and place our students at the center of everything we do. Through our specialist programs, extra-curricular activities, daily lunchtime activities, camps and excursions, student goal-setting, and reflection, as well as our Inspire and Horizons Programs, we provide numerous opportunities for your child to explore and develop their passions and interests.

In our close-knit school community, every child is known and cared for as an individual. Our dedicated staff collaborates with families to achieve the best outcomes for each student. Our School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support Program promotes our core values of Collaboration, Learning, Engagement, and Respect.

If you're interested in learning more about our school, we invite you to join us for a school tour on Tuesday mornings at 9:30 or at a time that suits you. During their time at Somers Primary School, all students learn about emotional literacy, develop their personal strengths, build positive coping skills, and learn strategies to solve personal and social problems, manage stress, seek help, and promote positive and respectful relationships. We celebrate student engagement regularly and uphold expected behaviors based on our CLEaR school values.

Our dedicated Wellbeing Team, led by our Assistant Principal, provides targeted support for students who may need extra assistance. We also collaborate with the wider community and Department staff to offer small group short-term interventions focused on skill development and capacity building.

Lastly, we take great pride in our reputation for providing high-levels of individualized support for students with disabilities and additional needs. We are committed to ensuring the best outcomes for our most vulnerable students.

At Somers Primary School, we are dedicated to creating a nurturing and inspiring environment where every child can thrive. Join us on this journey of learning and growth.
