Message from the Principal

Students at Edithvale Primary School learn to love learning, learn to be lifelong learners and learn to love life. Tapping into the potential of each student and supporting their development is a key focus at Edithvale. We provide a safe and secure learning environment, encouraging children to take risks and to engage in a curriculum that promotes critical and creative thinking.

We encourage each of our students to recognise his or her unique significance to the school community and guide them as they explore their interests and abilities through a myriad of activities at the school. As part of a distinctive environment bordered by both wetlands and a beautiful coastline, we bring together the environment, the community and the holistic growth and development of our students.

• The safety, welfare and development of each child
