School News

​Our school community is pulling together to help raise over $20,000 for new technology at Larrakeyah Primary. To do this, we’re hosting a ​Colour Explosion School Fun Run! Upper and middle primary and early childhood learning levels will each get their own day.

​What a jam-packed term it’s been for our whole school community! There have been heaps of activities and lots of learning across all year levels and our students – and teachers and support staff – have earned a well-deserved break.

School isn’t just about learning to read and write. School is one of the most influential places for young people to learn about their health and wellbeing and how to navigate all the things that happen to them as they grow.

Over three days, students of all ages from the sports houses of Goyder (blue), Wickham (yellow), Leichardt (green) and King (red) will participate in friendly competition that encourages everyone to get involved.

​As we say goodbye to the Wet for another year and welcome in the cooler temperatures of the Dry Season, we look forward to the school camps taking place this Term for Years 3 through 6.

At Larrakeyah Primary, we want to make sure all our students are supported so they can become excellent readers. Reading is an essential skill that sets our students up for all of their future learning and their life beyond the school gates.

While academic achievements are important to all of us, we know that student wellbeing across all age groups is a growing concern for parents and carers. After the last year of change and uncertainty in particular, strong coping skills, resilience and empathy is more important than ever.

We’re immensely proud of how our school community, our students, and staff have led Larrakeyah Primary from strength to strength – the most recent example of such progress being demonstrated in achieving a “High” to “Outstanding” result in all areas of our 2020 School Review. Today, we want to share one of the mechanisms that form the foundations of our continuous improvement. Let’s take a look at Focus Groups.

Let's take a look at some of the exciting things happening at our school this year, and welcome new staff to our team.
