The Sathya Sai Primary School (SSPS) is a non-denominational, co-educational primary school catering for students from Kindergarten to Year 6 situated in Murwillumbah, northern New South Wales. The unique and characteristic feature of SSPS is its core values of Love, Peace, Truth, Right Action and Non-violence.

We achieve our school mission by giving prominence to character development through a unique Sathya Sai Education in Human Values Program (SSEHV). Our students participate in a whole school SSEHV program which assists children in the development of positive and healthy relationships; a vital component in the life of a child. The quality of the relationship the child has with other students and teachers affect the level of motivation, attitude and willingness to participate in any learning opportunity. Our weekly SSEHV program examines, teaches and promotes pro-active and pro-social behaviours that assist in creating a safe and supportive environment for students. Examples of situational values taught include patience, responsibility, tolerance, respect, care, kindness, integrity – to name only a few. These values are explicitly taught and explored using our seven teaching techniques of silent sitting, creative visualisation, quotes & affirmations, music & songs, storytelling, mind mapping and group activity.

Our teachers strive to be exemplars of the values and encourage all students to practice the five human values thus providing students with a safe nurturing environment of respect and good role modeling. SSPS uses a K – 6 mainstream NSW Board of Studies (..
