Pimpala Primary School, a southern metropolitan school set on four hectares of landscaped grounds, strongly promotes school pride, and community involvement. Underpinning our priorities, policies and procedures are our school values of respect, responsibility, communication, friendship and excellence in all endeavours. Our learning priorities focus on providing all students with a strong foundation in literacy, numeracy, science and information and communication technology. All facets of curriculum implementation are promoted using these principles and values across the whole school. Our staff are highly committed to providing an exciting and diverse range of learning opportunities for our students. Teachers and student support staff are proactive in accessing high quality professional development, at all times keeping abreast of the most current teaching learning methodologies that under pin the Australian Curriculum and the diversity of students’ learning needs. We support an inclusive culture, reflected in the range of intervention programs implemented to support and maximise student learning achievement and participation. Our specialist programs are physical education, science, Indonesian and our extra-curricular programs include school choir, sport and after school activities. We have a strong focus on health and wellbeing, with the Eat Well, Be Active program a part of daily school life. Students are encouraged during break times to use sports equipment and be active. All sections of the school have access to a variety of sporting equipment.
