Chirnside Park Primary School

"Fantastic school. I am a former school teacher and I am very fortunate to get an up close look at all the programs and opportunities on offer for students at Chirnside Park whilst in the process of helping creating their online tour. The passion and dedication of this community, especially the teaching staff is amazing. A very warm and nurturing school with great leadership. All parents in the area MUST have Chirnside Park on their list of schools to choose for their child. Highly recommended!"

"I would like to commend Chirnside Park Primary School and its wonderful Principle, Vice-Principle, Teachers and Staff for a fantastic two years spent at the school so far. My eldest son is just starting grade 2 this year and i couldn't be more pleased with the curriculum that is offered, i can honestly say that he has had a very successful start to his education thanks to the professionalism, friendly and caring nature that all students receive. As a parent the school encourages involvement in your Childs education which adds to the benefits. The smaller numbers at the school offers a warm family environment and personally it has been reassuring to know that your child is known to all teachers and students therefore nothing goes unnoticed from achievements to individual needs that maybe required. Thank you Chirnside Park primary for your dedication. Looking forward to many more wonderful years ahead."

"We are going into our third year at this school and I cannot speak highly enough about our experience over the last 2 years. I spent a long time considering all schools in the area (both public and private) and can honestly say I made the right decision. A wonderful school, just the right size to provide a lovely sense of community and familiarity amongst students, staff and parents. It also has the right level of resources and programs to ensure your child achieves their best. The school's literacy program is second to none, I recall touring the school and noticing the difference in the quality of the written work to what I had seen at others and I was very impressed. I have not been disappointed, my daughters academic progress has been incredible through Prep and Grade 1, all thanks to the excellent program and dedicated teachers catering to individual needs. Speaking of staff, I am continuously impressed by all of the staff at the school. The Principal and Vice-Principal are obviously very committed, and are always looking for ways to make the school even better for the families. In the last 12 months alone we have seen a complete makeover of the outside of the school, with new soft surface play spaces, nature play area, outdoor murals, veggie patch, chicken yard etc. Finally, emotional intelligence / soft skills are really important to our family, and the school does really well in this area too with a program and school values designed to focus on ensuring children are well mannered, taught how to show respect, how to deal with difficult situations/emotions etc. Communication is excellent too. I would highly recommend Chirnside Park Primary School!!!"

"A wonderful school with an amazing community vibe. The school is lead by an incredibly caring principal and assistant principal and every member of staff happily goes above and beyond their job descriptions. I attended this school and now have my own child enrolled and find that it has all the advantages of a bigger school and also a welcoming community feel where each teacher knows every student. It caters for both students who may need a bit of extra help, with early intervention literacy programs and also caters for those students that are capable of more with extension programs. It truly offers an incredible learning environment."

"Dont know what those other people are on about. I went to this school for all of my primary years and loved it. The principal is awesome, and always listens to your problems. The teachers are good, they are young and with it, and are pretty cool. They always come to out of school activities if you have them, and they are very supportive. I loved my time there, I got to be a house captain, and they really helped me with my confidence. If you have a kid looking for a primary school, then this one is pretty great."
