Diggers Rest Primary School is situated in a semi-rural community with an enrolment of just over 100 students. The school was relocated and rebuilt in 1990 and has a modern comfortable feel and highly functional buildings. The school's purpose is to provide our students with a caring and challenging learning environment that promotes literacy and numeracy and strong connections with the school community. The school has a family atmosphere, where all school community members know each other. The school has fantastic resources with a fully equipped art room, library, multipurpose room, Reading Recovery room, oval and extensive grounds. The buildings were refurbished extensively in 2010; being repainted and having new carpet installed. Technology upgrades include interactive whiteboards for the classrooms. In 2010 the staff of the school was made up of 5.6 EFT teachers, 1 principal class officer, 3.2 Education Support Staff and a part time Student Welfare Officer. The students were organised into 5 classes. 2010 saw the implementation of the new 4 year strategic plan with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy as well as student engagement and welfare. In 2010 the school ran many successful and high profile enrichment activities including a Houdini festival celebrating the first aeroplane flight in Australia and an extended artists in schools program that resulted in the production of the "House of Dreaming" installation based around student videos and performances. Diggers Rest Primary School is a friendly, happy school with a high level of pride in its achievements.
