Somers Primary School provides a comprehensive education in a warm and friendly environment. The rural setting provides an ideal place for children to grow and learn to be the best they can be. We focus on the provision of programs which build the children’s academic, social and life skills. Development of Mathematics is also designed to assist children to achieve to the best of their potential. Children who need additional assistance are supported with small withdrawal classes which focus on the areas of difficulty. Frequent testing ensures that children’s progress is regularly monitored and that support is provided. In Mathematics, extension programs are also provided to allow children to explore Mathematics and develop a love of learning. Science is also a feature of the School with all children from Years Prep to Grade 6 receiving science lessons. The Science Program underpins the School’s Sustainability Program which encourages children to conserve water and electricity and which promotes recycling. As part of the Sustainability Program, the children participate in activities which build the environment and which give them a clear idea of the importance of the preservation of ecosystems in the school and local environments. Somers Primary School has achieved a number of awards for its work in sustainability. Our children are encouraged to be good citizens and to contribute to the wider society. Each term the School runs a Citizenship Assembly which recognises the contribution of children to the School and to the wider community.
