Principal’s Message

On behalf of all Livingstone Primary School students, staff, family and friends, I would like to welcome you to the Livingstone Primary School learning community. I am extremely proud and honoured to be this wonderful school’s Principal and value highly the privilege of being able to actively contribute to the development of our most precious resource – our children.

We are a school community that prides itself on building and maintaining quality relationships, and providing a fair, supportive and inclusive environment.

Our school values of respect, responsibility, optimism, pride and integrity underpin a culture of inclusivity, connectedness, and sense of belonging within the school. These values are not only demonstrated consistently within our school community but come with high expectations that all are treated with respect, kindness and fairness.

Parents and staff at Livingstone Primary School share high aspirations for the children of our school community, expecting them to reach their full potential in all areas of their academic endeavours, and against all measures of social competence and general wellbeing. 

We combine strong, everlasting traditions with innovative and contemporary practice. Our broad, differentiated and engaging curriculum is informed by evidence-based, best teaching and learning practices which meet and extend our students’ academic talents, as well as addressing their social and emotional learning.

Our curriculum offers students a variety of opportunities to enhance their understanding of student voice, agency and leadership. These key elements in education help empower students in their learning, improve student outcomes, health and wellbeing, and provide them with tools to become active, productive and creative citizens.

We know that students thrive when their learning is valued, both in the classroom and beyond. All students are supported in their intellectual, social, physical, creative, and emotional growth and to understand how these aspects are interrelated. The holistic development of a young person is honoured and respected throughout the school, enabling all students to be dedicated to a full life of learning and development, and to understand themselves as a person.

Digital technologies continue to form an essential part of learning at Livingstone Primary School, with our 1:1 iPad program supporting our differentiated curriculum from Foundation through to Year 6.

We pride ourselves on maintaining excellent communication with parents, and actively encourage parental involvement in their child’s education. This open and collaborative approach helps foster strong relationships between the school and parents and carers, ensuring that the education of each student is in partnership.

We are immensely proud of our school, and the wide range of experiences we can offer your child. I welcome you to explore our school digitally through this website and our Facebook page. Here, you will find a wealth of information, including our onsite Before and After School Care program (including Vacation Care) which assists families with childcare options, through to our extensive grounds which provide many opportunities for imaginative play and creativity.

Our outstanding office team is a great first point of contact should you have any questions or queries, and I encourage you to speak with them to learn more about us through our School Tours Program.

Yours in partnership,

Jaimie Clarke
