Margate Primary School 7 Van Morey Road, Margate, Tasmania 7054

Welcome to Margate Primary School, a vibrant and dynamic institution located on Van Morey Road in Margate, Australia. As a primary school, we are dedicated to providing a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can excel academically, socially, and emotionally.

At Margate Primary School, we strongly believe in the potential of every child. We view all our students as competent and capable learners, with the ability to construct their own knowledge through curiosity, creativity, and determination. We foster a thinking culture that challenges and engages students in meaningful learning experiences.

Our dedicated staff members are committed to delivering quality teaching and learning experiences across various domains, including academic subjects, social and emotional learning, health and wellbeing, and the arts. Through careful planning, collaboration, and high expectations, we create an environment where curiosity, creativity, and a passion for learning thrive. We also prioritize building strong human connections and nurturing positive relationships within our school community.

We understand the importance of working in partnership with families to ensure the best outcomes for our students. We actively collaborate and cooperate with parents, involving them in their child's learning journey through various school-based initiatives. We provide comprehensive support for families, and our goal is to create a strong bond between home and school.

As a sustainable school, we are committed to reducing waste, particularly plastics. We promote the use of reusable lunch containers and strive for 'wrapper free' lunch boxes. We also instill the value of kindness in our students, as we believe it is the cornerstone of a harmonious community. Wellbeing is a critical aspect of our school, and we continuously focus on developing our students' social skills and emotional understanding.

We are proud of our achievements and recognition as a school, and we look forward to continuing our journey together to support the growth of flourishing and resilient young people. As Ignacio Estrada once said, "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."
