Welcome to Gowrie Primary School! Located on Jeffries Street in Gowrie, Australia, our school is a vibrant and inclusive learning community. As an establishment and point of interest, we take great pride in being a primary school that prioritizes the well-being and education of our students.

At Gowrie Primary School, we believe in creating a child-centered environment where every student feels safe, supported, and respected. We value diversity and strive to provide an inclusive learning environment for all students. Our close partnership between students, staff, parents, and the wider community is highly valued and contributes to the strength of our school.

We offer a range of special programs to cater to the individual needs of our students. Our social skills program, "Everyone Counts," helps foster positive interactions and relationships among our students. Additionally, we provide intervention and extension programs in literacy and numeracy to ensure every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

To support working parents, we have partnered with the YMCA of Canberra to offer before and after school care programs. This collaboration allows us to provide a holistic approach to the development and well-being of our students.

Our team of dedicated and professional teaching and non-teaching staff bring a balance of youth and experience to the school. We are committed to evidence-based approaches to student growth, focusing on individual needs and regularly assessing progress. By creating tailored learning experiences, we aim to enhance the educational journey for all our students. Our teachers collaborate, share best practices, and actively participate in professional learning sessions to ensure they are equipped with the latest teaching strategies.

Established in 1983, Gowrie Primary School has a rich history in providing quality education. Our motto, "Today Prepares Tomorrow," still holds true today as we strive to cultivate success and lifelong learning for our students. Our core values revolve around the belief that "Everyone Counts," and this message resonates throughout our school community.
