A very different Term 2 at Larrakeyah Primary school is about to end. The coronavirus has impacted all levels of the school and wider community. Fortunately, due to the understanding and support of our wonderful school community and the dedication and perseverance of the school staff, we have survived and thrived this term.

Larrakeyah Primary School is acknowledged as a leading school in Darwin and the Northern Territory. One of the features that contribute to this reputation is the number, and quality, of the Extra-curricular programs being offered to the students

Larrakeyah Primary School is a school of choice for many families because of the academic success students achieve, the support offered to students as well as the range of innovative programs offered.

Becoming an Independent Public School in 2014 has opened many opportunities to improve our already successful school. Since then, with the support of the NT Department of Education, our school leadership has developed the culture and direction of Larrakeyah Primary to provide students with greater opportunities to improve their educational outcomes and develop their social and emotional well-being.

Beyond preparing students with the knowledge and skills core to the Australian Curriculum, at Larrakeyah Primary we aim to extend and support student development through a collection of programs designed to instil a lifelong appreciation for learning.

​Respect, optimism and a positive learning atmosphere are integral to student success at Larrakeyah Primary School. This term, we’re kicking off the Peer Support Program across all year levels to foster positive attitudes among students – their relationships with each other and their teachers.
