Principal's welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to the Old Orchard Primary School website.

Our school is very proud of its reputation as an outstanding community school, catering for a diverse range of students and their families. Our enrolments have stabilised at approximately 460 students which allows us to offer a broad and rich curriculum.

We have a strong history of producing confident, respectful, happy, healthy and positive students with excellent literacy and numeracy skills. Our students are encouraged to develop a broad social conscience and a sense of community. The positive achievements of our former students as they move into and through secondary educations is reflective of the wonderful grounding they receive in the Old Orchard environment, complementing the work and support of their families.

Old Orchard is a wonderful school, with fantastic students, a dedicated and talented staff and an extremely supportive and active parent community. I encourage you to explore our website or better still, make an appointment to visit our school - we would love to share it with you.

Kind regards,

Duncan Cant

Principal
