Principal’s Welcome

Welcome to our Doncaster Primary School!

Doncaster Primary is a wonderful school with a team of highly qualified and dedicated staff who are committed to the ongoing improvement for all students. With a student population of approximately 560, we are situated in the Doncaster Hill precinct on spacious grounds. Students enjoy a range of expansive play areas and learning spaces. These include our gymnasium, basketball courts, adventure playgrounds, oval, veggie garden and chook house.

We offer a challenging and comprehensive curriculum for each child in a caring and stimulating environment.  63% of students come from a background with a language other than English who are supported by our EAL (English as an Additional Language) program.

At DPS we encourage the development of confident, articulate and independent learners who demonstrate self-discipline, self-reliance and pride in themselves and their school.

At DPS we believe that children learn best when:

• They are actively involved in their learning
• They take responsibility for their own learning
• There is clear demonstration and expectation
• They have a positive self esteem
• The learning fulfils their own needs, purpose and interest
• There are positive links between home and school

At DPS we live by our values – Determination, Pride, and Success.

I invite you to contact me personally if you have any questions or would like a tour of our wonderful school of which I am exceedingly proud to lead.
