Havenview Primary School is situated in Burnie on the North West Coast of Tasmania five minutes drive south-east of the central business district. Havenview is a small school of around 100 students and 20 staff members. The school is supported by a committed and positive school community actively involved in enhancing the education of every student. At present the school is made up of two primary classes, two early childhood classes and a Kindergarten class. The School Association group meets bi-monthly to guide support and implement decision making processes. The strong sense of community is evident the moment you walk through the front door with so many visitors passing comment that there is a 'good feel' at Havenview. This 'good feel' gives students, staff and community members the foundation and motivation to continue to strive for excellence and to ensure that everyone at Havenview Primary School feels safe, happy and motivated to learn.
