Amsleigh Park Primary School

Achievements

To facilitate the transition of students, they offer an extensive program called 'Smart Start.' This program assists and guides students as they progress to the next grade level each year. Within this program, students collaborate in year-level groups to develop an understanding of the changing expectations and the exciting special programs and events that await them. Smart Start aims to alleviate anxiety and foster self-assurance. At the beginning of each academic year, all classes participate in a 'Learning to Learn' program, which establishes clear expectations for both students and classes regarding their learning journey. This program also promotes the creation of a harmonious, cooperative, and respectful classroom environment. Students benefit from a well-rounded education that encompasses captivating specialist teaching programs in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics), Physical Education, German Language, Performing Arts, and Visual Arts. Additionally, we offer a range of 'extra-curricular' programs such as Library, Leigh Club (choir), Enviro-Stars, Student Representative Council, Bike Education, Swimming, Aerobics, Keyboard, Guitar, and Outdoor Education (camping programs) for our students.
