From the Principal
I am immensely proud of Strathmore North Primary; it is an exceptional school. I am also immensely proud to be the Principal. We firmly believe that every child has the right to a world class education. Every child is an individual and must have their needs met. The children pass through our school only once – we have to strive to get it right the first time.
The children of our school are wonderful and special; they are the lifeblood of our school. They embody the aspirations of SNPS as enthusiastic, caring, friendly and thoughtful young people with an appetite for learning and thirst for knowledge. We know that children who are happy and secure in their learning environment are children who are more likely to achieve their potential.
Our school is a welcoming community where all members are valued and encouraged to participate fully in the life of the school. SNPS is a school where children and their learning come first and people make a positive difference. Our School Values of Respect, Honesty, Team Spirit, Responsibility, Caring, Independence, Friendliness and Personal Best underpin everything we do at SNPS.
As a school community, we are proud of our fine achievements and traditions in student learning across all curriculum areas, especially in the areas of English and Mathematics. We offer diverse and dynamic programs that target the individual needs of children, ensuring that each child attains their full potential. The current specialist programs that we offer are Physical Education, The Arts, Japanese and Science. We also offer a number of extension opportunities and programs such as Sound Garage music program as well as additional assistance for students at risk.
Our staffing profile reflects a breadth of experience and expertise and this contributes to quality classroom programs. Just as our students inquire, solve problems and work cooperatively together, so too do our teachers. Teachers work and plan in teams and are continually improving their teaching and learning techniques through quality professional development, peer coaching and mentoring programs.
SNPS is a special place to learn focused on one principle aim: to provide the best possible learning experience for all. I look forward to sharing that experience with you and your family.
Our website will give you an overview of our school however, to experience the atmosphere of SNPS and see our school in action, I would invite you to visit the school on a normal school day. You will be able to observe our teaching and learning programs first hand and see our outstanding facilities.
We warmly welcome your interest in SNPS and look forward to you visiting us. Please contact our school for further details.
Kind regards,
Nicole Di Marco
