At Officer Primary School, 'we live to learn and learn to live'. Situated in the south east growth corridor, within a small but growing township, the school is focused on achieving strong learning outcomes for its students within a 'family' small school environment. Parents are attracted to our school by our smaller size, our caring approach, our reputation for supporting the development of every individual and our range of exciting and unique learning programs. The last three years have seen significant changes in our surrounding community with future housing development and the opening of several new state and independent schools. Enrolments have decreased to around 150 in 2011 and this is predicted to continue in 2012. The school has 10.1 teaching staff and 10 Education Support Staff. Around 16% of students are supported by disabilities funding, many more have special needs. Our school facilities have been refurbished to create an orderly learning environment and we pride ourselves in the attractive grounds which contain some unique features to engage and excite students.
Specialist programs offered by the school include a highly successful Physical Education program and the Arts, extending to a whole school Artists in Residency Puppetry project in 2012. We are also applying innovative approaches to the use of ITC, with every class using interactive white boards.
Officer Primary School offers a semi rural, small school environment within the growth corridor. We pride ourselves in knowing all children and seeking the best for each child.
