Welcome to Plympton Primary School

Nestled between the city and the sea, our school is located in the vibrant south-western suburb of Plympton, attracting families who value high aspirations and a strong sense of community. Our dedicated, expert staff work in partnership with families to nurture each child’s academic success and personal growth.

At Plympton Primary School, our vision is to inspire every child to excel by fostering creativity, teamwork, and a love of learning in a welcoming and inclusive community. Through collaboration and innovation, we provide an enriching and supportive educational experience that empowers every learner.

Our values—kindness, belonging, curiosity, and perseverance—are embedded in all aspects of school life:

• • Kindness – Be caring and helpful to others.
  • Belonging – Help everyone feel included and valued.
  • Curiosity – Ask questions and explore new things.
  • Perseverance – Keep trying and persist with challenges.

We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where students develop the knowledge, skills, and mindsets needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Our passionate educators work within professional learning communities, ensuring every child builds strong foundations in literacy and numeracy. We prioritise high-impact teaching strategies and evidence-based learning approaches, with teachers regularly engaging in professional development to refine their practice.

We offer specialist programs in Health and Physical Education, Performing Arts, and Japanese, as well as First Language Maintenance development classes in Hindi, Nepali, and Chinese. Digital technologies are seamlessly integrated into learning, with a Bring Your Own Device program supporting Year 3–6 students in developing essential digital literacy skills.

Student wellbeing is at the heart of our approach. We focus on fostering self-regulation and emotional awareness so that all students can engage successfully and safely in their learning. Throughout the year, we celebrate key events such as Harmony Week, Reconciliation Week, Book Week, and our end of year Celebration Night, promoting critical thinking, problem-solving, and intercultural understanding.

Our diverse school community is united by shared values and a collective commitment to helping every child succeed. We invite you to explore our website and encourage prospective families to join us for a school tour—we look forward to welcoming you to Plympton Primary School.
