About Us

Welcome to Our School

Preschool to Year 6

The information in this website has been prepared to help you get to know the school and all that it provides for your child. If you have any questions, or need any further information, contact the Principal, or the Office Manager, on 62058200.

Richardson School opened in 1984, and is a child-centred Primary School which respects individual difference. It offers a caring environment in which each child's contribution is valued and in which each child's needs are acknowledged and met. Multi-aged grouping and team teaching allow for maximum flexibility in offering students the best learning and teaching environments. Educational programs are carefully structured to reinforce success, rather than failure.

The school includes two Special Education classes located in the mainstream units. Our programs promote and encourage the integration of pupils with special needs. Additional staff in our school include a P.E.specialist, a Counsellor, and an English as a Second Language (ESL) / Learning Advancement (LA) teacher, a librarian and a Schools as Communities Worker.

Richardson Primary has been a pioneer in introducing Interactive Whiteboard (IWB) technology into the school setting. It was the first school in Australia to equip every classroom with IWBs. These boards allow for fully interactive computer based learning in all curriculum areas. The school also has a computer laboratory and stand alone units in classrooms.

In addition to the normal core curriculum the school encourages full participation in physical and creative activities. The Richardson Journey to Success is a social skills program that supports the establishment and maintenance of a positive learning environment within our school. A Clubs program including all children from Kindergarten to Year 6 operates throughout the school. We are proud of our senior Buddies program and of our active Student Representative Council.

WE TRUST YOUR CHILD'S TIME AT RICHARDSON SCHOOL WILL BE A HAPPY AND REWARDING EXPERIENCE
