Welcome to Salisbury Downs Primary School!

Hello Students, Parents, and Community Members,

I’m excited to welcome you to Salisbury Downs Primary School as we start another fantastic school year. Our school is a place where learning is fun, and everyone feels at home.

At Salisbury Downs, we embrace these important values:

1. Courage: We encourage our students to be brave, try new things, and tackle challenges head-on.

2. Good Manners: Being polite and respectful is key. We believe in treating everyone with kindness and courtesy.

3. Friendliness: We love seeing smiles and friendships grow. Our school is a place where everyone feels welcome.

4. Tolerance: We celebrate our differences and teach our students to appreciate and respect each other.

5. Compassion: Caring for one another is at the heart of our community. We support each other and lend a helping hand whenever needed.

6. Perseverance: We encourage our students to keep going, even when things get tough. Hard work and determination lead to success.

We believe strongly in the power of literacy and numeracy as foundational skills for lifelong learning. Our dedicated staff work tirelessly to ensure that every student develops strong reading, writing, and mathematical skills, setting them up for success in all areas of life.

I’m looking forward to working together with all of you to make this year fantastic. Your involvement and support makes both our students and our school a better place.

Thanks for being part of our Salisbury Downs family!
