Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to Salisbury Primary School

At Salisbury Primary School, we proudly live by our motto: Aim High. We set high expectations for every student and encourage them to strive for excellence in all they do. By personalising learning to meet each individual’s needs, we ensure every student is supported and challenged to reach their full potential.

Our school is recognised for its innovative, evidence-based approach to education, where teaching practices are informed by research and focused on student growth. We integrate the effective use of ICT to support and enrich learning across all year levels, helping students develop essential digital skills and engage more deeply with the curriculum. Our bright, spacious, and well-maintained classrooms are thoughtfully designed to create a positive, flexible learning environment that enhances each student’s educational experience.

Our staff of highly qualified and passionate educators deliver learning programs that are engaging, inclusive, and appropriately challenging. At Salisbury Primary, learning is at the heart of everything we do. Our school values, Persistence, Respect, Achievement, and Co-operation, are deeply embedded in everyday life and guide our interactions and decisions. We also foster a set of core learning dispositions, Thinker, Researcher, Collaborator, Communicator, Self-Manager, and Contributor, which empower our students to become confident, capable, and lifelong learners.

We are deeply committed to equipping our students with the knowledge, skills, and social-emotional capabilities they need to thrive both now and into the future. With a strong focus on wellbeing and student agency, we empower learners to take ownership of their learning, make informed choices, and build resilience. Our supportive environment nurtures the whole child, ensuring each student feels valued, confident, and ready to succeed in all aspects of life.

Salisbury Primary is a vibrant and inclusive community where every student is valued, and every culture is respected and celebrated. We personalise learning to meet individual needs, support academic excellence, and foster a strong sense of belonging for all. With a focus on student agency, wellbeing, and the development of key learning dispositions, we nurture our students to grow into kind, capable, and community-minded individuals. Guided by our school values, they are empowered to contribute meaningfully to the world around them and embrace the challenges of the future with confidence and compassion.

At our school, we deeply value the partnership between families, the local community, and our learning environment. We are committed to creating meaningful opportunities for connection and celebration, where families and community members are actively involved in our programs and students’ learning journeys. Through ongoing events, collaboration, and open communication, we strive to strengthen these relationships and ensure our school remains a welcoming and inclusive place for all.

I invite you to visit Salisbury Primary School, meet our friendly staff, check out our vibrant and engaging learning spaces, and most importantly, chat with our students and staff. Come and see for yourself what makes our school such a great place to learn and grow.

Kind regards,

Shane Atkins
