Welcome to Campbells Bay School, from Principal John McGowan

Since opening in 1925 our decile ten school has a student roll of between 850-900. The school caters for students between the ages of 5-11 who live within the school’s enrolment zone*. Campbells Bay School also provides a small number of places for international students. Set in park-like grounds the school has many purposeful-built facilities to provide for the needs of our students.

At the heart of the school are people, with our children being at the centre of our attention. Our aim is to grow learners for life. Learners for life are effective communicators, thinkers, self-managers, and citizens who strive for excellence. Our actions are designed to ensure the ambition of growing learners for life is a day to day reality for our students. In this context, the school’s governing body, the Board of Trustees, provides for the overall direction of the school through policy setting and strategic planning and, in consultation with the senior leadership of the school, sets achievement targets. Our current priorities are outlined from the Board of Trustees.

Our values are respect, resilience and kindness and we are currently implementing a new launch through professional development from Positive Behaviour For Learning to emulate these values in all that we do.

Assisting with the implementation of these strategic priorities is a well-qualified staff, a supportive community and children who are eager to learn.
