A Note from our Principal
At Kirup Primary School, every child is known, valued and supported to thrive. Our values – Responsibility, Empathy and Active Learning – are lived each day in classrooms, in the playground and in the way we partner with families. They shape confident learners and compassionate young people who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to the world.
Exceeding expectations is our aspiration in all that we do. Our teaching is guided by the Science of Learning and delivered through an evidence-based, high-impact program that builds strong foundations in literacy and numeracy, while also providing rich opportunities in the arts, sport and nature-based learning. Our small size is our strength: every student is seen and celebrated, while benefiting from a team of dedicated professionals who go above and beyond.
Parents who join us discover they don’t just enrol their child – they join a community. Families become knitted into the fabric of school life, experiencing the nostalgia and warmth of a traditional small school alongside the assurance of a research-driven, future-focused education. Here, connections are genuine, traditions are honoured, and learning is designed to prepare children for tomorrow’s opportunities.
Families choose Kirup because we invest deeply in children’s futures. They stay because they see the results: capable learners, kind community members, and resilient young people who flourish.
I warmly invite you to visit us, experience our culture, and see firsthand why Kirup Primary School is a place where your child will grow, belong and excel.
