Surrey Hills Primary School is a vibrant learning community that aims to develop every child academically and socially to become life-long learners. Our vision for students is to build a community of active learners who can meet the challenges of our rapidly changing world and become responsible global citizens.

Our school has an excellent reputation for its commitment to quality education. This reputation is built on honouring our history, focusing on the present and preparing for the future. Surrey Hills Primary School is a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate - Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) and we are pursuing authorisation as an IB World School.

Our school community highly values a safe, dynamic and inclusive learning approach. We recognise the importance of growing a caring, community-focused and respectful school environment, while emphasising the importance of literacy and numeracy.

Our staff members are experienced, enthusiastic and committed to continuous improvement. They are proud to be members of the school community and have approached the IB candidacy with vigour and eagerness. The staff value their colleagues as reflective educators who are open to new ideas and focused on best practice as they educate our students.

To promote the health, safety and wellbeing of students, the school supports the classroom curriculum with comprehensive specialist programs, extra-curricular activities and various wellbeing programs and practices. Surrey Hills Primary School also employs teachers’ aides to assist with the enrichment of students with special needs and welcomes international students.

The school promotes strong connections with parents to further enrich the community. Together with the School Council, parents are encouraged to participate in a number of volunteer groups and opportunities that foster cohesiveness. Staff and parents share the common belief that the growth of our students is at the heart of our community.

The school community consists of 400+ students, 35 teaching and administration team and the highly engaged parent network. The original two-story brick building has been refurbished to provide functional and flexible learning spaces and is complimented by a full size netball/basketball stadium, Performing Arts space and multi-purpose and community meeting rooms. The well-maintained grounds incorporate passive play areas and a hard court surface and oval area. An Out of School Hours Care program is conducted on site and local sporting organisations access the sports facilities after-hours for training.
