We have a learning community that fosters intellectual growth and habits of commitment, reflection, wellbeing and engagement, developing citizens who make a living, a life and a difference. The school values the safe, caring and supportive environment it has established over many years with a focus on social, emotional, physical as well as academic development of children. Newborough East Primary School is an attractive school set on 6.2 hectares with a population of 362. The school has 20.2 equivalent full time teaching staff and 7.2 equivalent educational support staff. We have spacious refurbished classrooms, a Gymnasium, Library, Art Room and Computer Room.
