Dear Parents, carers and members of the school community,
Welcome to our school's website. Having opened in 2022, we are now in our third year of offering a quality educational service to the suburbs of Nirimba and Banya. Nirimba State Primary School is a modern, purpose-built primary school for students in Prep to Year 6 offering a great education and learning opportunities for the young people in the area.
Our school motto, Embracing Opportunities of Today, Inspiring Futures of Tomorrow, encompasses our approach to educational and extra-curricular opportunities at our school. We offer all learning areas of the Australian Curriculum with a strong focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics) to encourage creative thinking, problem solving and to prepare our students for a 21st century society.
At our school we utilise a multi-pedagogical approach to teaching, with a strong emphasis on play-based learning in the early years through to inquiry, explicit, direct, event and project-based teaching and learning across all of the different year levels. Learning and creating with ICTs is core to our teaching and learning practices but this is complemented by ensuring our students have opportunities to play and socialise with their peers. Our school offers a range of lunch time clubs and programs that students can enjoy during breaks and after school.
Students at our school learn Japanese from Prep and are taught all five strands of The Arts: Music, Dance, Drama, Visual and Media Art throughout the year. From Year 3, students can also have an opportunity to learn an instrument through our Instrumental Music program. In addition to the internal and external Arts opportunities, sporting opportunities are also equally important to us as a school. We have partnered with a number of community sporting organisations to allow students to attend these sessions after school. More information on these programs is available from our office.
We look forward to welcoming you and your family to our school. If you have any questions or queries about enrolling your child, or about the school, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to help you with your enquiry.
Yours in education
Steven Moore
Principal
