Shorehaven Primary School Calendar 2026-2027 – Western Australia

Leave a Comment

Shorehaven Primary School is a government-funded, co-educational primary school located at 91 Shorehaven Boulevard, Alkimos, Western Australia 6038 — in Perth’s rapidly growing northern corridor, approximately 40 kilometres north of the Perth CBD.

The school caters for students from Kindergarten through Year 6 and is one of the newer schools in the area, having opened at the start of the 2022 school year to ease enrolment pressure on surrounding primary schools in the fast-growing Alkimos and Eglinton communities.

Shorehaven Primary School

The school’s name was chosen following community consultation — named after its location on Shorehaven Boulevard. When announced, Education Minister Sue Ellery described it as “a wonderful facility which will serve our community well into the future,” noting that “residents in Alkimos and Eglinton have been crying out for a new primary school.”

The school currently enrols approximately 778 students with a student-to-teacher ratio of 1:17 and an ICSEA score of 998 — close to the national average of 1,000, reflecting a community with broadly average socio-educational advantage.

Campus and Facilities

The Shorehaven Primary School campus features purpose-built, modern facilities designed for contemporary learning, including two double-storey teaching blocks — one of the larger primary school footprints in Perth’s northern corridor. The school was purpose-built with a permanent student capacity of 650 students, though enrolments have since grown beyond this original projection, reflecting the area’s continued rapid residential development.

The school has an active Parents & Citizens (P&C) Association, which supports school events, fundraising, and community connection throughout the year.

Curriculum and School Life

Shorehaven Primary School follows the Western Australian Curriculum across all learning areas:

  • English and Mathematics — with strong literacy and numeracy foundations
  • Science and Technology
  • Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS)
  • Creative Arts — including visual arts, music, and drama, with regular exhibitions and performances
  • Physical Education and Health

The school celebrates student achievements across academic, creative, and sporting domains throughout the year, with events including Welcome Assemblies, Science Experiments, Creative Arts Projects, art exhibitions, music performances, and drama productions.

Trinity Grammar School Calendar 2026-2027 – New South Wales, Australia

Leave a Comment

Trinity Grammar School is an independent, Anglican, co-educational (early learning) and boys-only (Years 3-12) school located across multiple campuses in Sydney’s inner west. The school was founded in 1913 by George Chambers in Dulwich Hill — originally as a small private school — and has grown into one of Sydney’s most significant independent Anglican boys’ schools.

Trinity Grammar School

The school’s motto, “Detur Gloria Soli Deo” — Latin for “Let Glory be Given to God Alone” — reflects the Christian values at the heart of the school’s mission. Trinity Grammar is a founding member of the International Boys’ School Coalition, connecting it with leading boys’ schools across the globe, and maintains a strong focus on developing what it describes as “men of character.”

Trinity Grammar School Calendar 2026-2027

Trinity Grammar School Calendar 2026

Multi-Campus Structure

Trinity Grammar School operates across several campuses in inner-western Sydney:

CampusLocationYear Levels
 Summer Hill Campus (Middle & Senior School) 119 Prospect Road, Summer Hill NSW 2130 Years 7–12
 Strathfield Campus (Junior School) Strathfield, NSW Early Learning – Year 6
 Preparatory School Dulwich Hill area, NSW Pre-K – Year 2

The Summer Hill campus is the school’s main Middle and Senior School, located 1.5 kilometres from Summer Hill Station and accessible from Prospect Road by both school buses and public transport.

Anglican Identity and Unique Term Names

A distinctive and historic feature of Trinity Grammar School is its use of traditional Anglican term names — derived from the Christian liturgical calendar — rather than the standard numbered terms used by most Australian schools:

  • Lent Term (Term 1) — named after the Christian season of Lent
  • Whitsun Term (Term 2) — named after Whitsunday (Pentecost)
  • Trinity Term (Term 3) — named after Trinity Sunday
  • Michaelmas Term (Term 4) — named after the Feast of St Michael

This naming tradition is shared with historic Anglican and English independent schools globally, connecting Trinity Grammar to the broader Anglican educational heritage. Each year concludes with Speech Day, a formal end-of-year celebration for the school community.

School Leadership and Community

The school places strong emphasis on pastoral care across its House Structure, Chaplaincy programme, and TESS Support Services (including counselling, psychological services, and a Health Care Centre). An English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme supports students from non-English speaking backgrounds, reflecting the diverse Inner West Sydney community.

Trinity Grammar is a founding member of the International Boys’ School Coalition and maintains international exchange partnerships. The Old Trinitarian Union — the active alumni association — supports current students through scholarships, mentoring, and networking events.

Curriculum and Learning

Trinity Grammar follows the NSW curriculum through Years K-12, with:

  • IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) — at the Junior School, including a PYP Exhibition culminating experience
  • NSW Higher School Certificate (HSC) — for Years 11-12 in the Senior School
  • Trinity Learning Pathways — personalised learning with extension, enrichment, and support programmes
  • Term-long Year 9 outdoor education programme at Woollamia — a signature experience emphasising resilience and growth
  • Co-curricular programme: sport (mandatory for all boys), music, drama, debating, community service, and overseas study tours including Water Polo tournaments with Australian and New Zealand teams

The school’s educational philosophy is grounded in the belief that challenges, setbacks, and the ability to learn from mistakes are as valuable as academic achievement — “not because all of these teach boys how to succeed, but because they teach them how to fail, how to persevere, how to engage with others, how to grow.”

Crown Street Public School Calendar 2026-2027 – New South Wales, Australia

Leave a Comment

Crown Street Public School is a heritage-listed, government-funded, co-educational primary school located at 356 Crown Street, Surry Hills, New South Wales 2010 — an inner-city suburb south of Sydney’s CBD.

The school is one of the oldest continuously operating public schools in Sydney, with origins dating back to April 1863, when Bourke Street National School opened in a building rented from the Bourke Street Congregational Church.

Crown Street Public School

The current school building was designed by prominent colonial architect George Allen Mansfield and constructed in 1869, with the permanent building occupied in May 1880. The dramatic site — perched on a small hill above Crown Street, approached via stone terraces and iron fences — is one of the most architecturally distinctive school buildings in inner Sydney.

The school was officially listed on the NSW State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999, recognising its significance as a major part of Surry Hills’ early development and as an outstanding example of Victorian-era public school architecture.

Today, Crown Street Public School serves approximately 296 students from Kindergarten to Year 6, led by Relieving Principal Olivia Parry. The school’s motto — “Equity and Excellence in Education” — reflects its long commitment to serving the diverse inner-city community.

A School with Remarkable History

Crown Street Public School’s enrolments grew extraordinarily rapidly in its early years — from its opening in 1863, numbers grew to 1,035 by May 1878 and 1,608 by 1879, far exceeding the capacity of its temporary buildings. The permanent building, completed in 1880, was designed to accommodate approximately 1,200 pupils.

The grounds include a small cenotaph in the ANZAC tradition, dedicated to former pupils who served in wars — a poignant reminder of the school community’s long history.

Notable Alumni

Among Crown Street Public School’s distinguished former students are:

  • Victor Trumper — widely regarded as one of the greatest Australian cricketers of all time
  • Eric Harrison — Australian politician and diplomat
  • Tas Jones — a talented athlete who excelled in swimming, diving, and rugby

School Culture and Values

The school’s emphasis on equity and excellence extends to welcoming students from diverse backgrounds across the inner-city community. An ICSEA score of 1101 (above the national average) reflects the educated, professional community the school serves, while the school maintains a strong focus on inclusion and individual support.

Acknowledgement of Country

Crown Street Public School pays respect and acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which the school stands, and pays respect to Elders both past and present.

Model Farms High School Calendar 2026-2027 – New South Wales, Australia

Leave a Comment

Model Farms High School is a comprehensive, co-educational government high school located at 81 Gooden Drive, Baulkham Hills, New South Wales 2153, in Sydney’s Hills District — a northwest suburban corridor approximately 30 kilometres from the CBD. The school caters to students in Years 7 to 12, with a current enrolment of over 1,100 students and a student-to-teacher ratio of approximately 1:17.

Model Farms High School

The school was established in 1975, though its name carries a far older heritage — the Baulkham Hills area was historically set up as a demonstration (model) farming site for convicts and would-be farmers arriving with the first settlers, teaching them agricultural methods in the early colonial era. This agricultural history is woven into the school’s identity and its motto.

Principal Megan Clarke leads the school, and its motto — “Magna Facta” (Great Deeds) — reflects the school’s ethos of high expectations across academic, creative, and sporting pursuits.

School Houses

In 2007, Model Farms High School introduced a house system that underpins school spirit, merit recognition, and sporting competitions, including the annual swimming carnival:

HouseColour
 Chisholm Green
 Peel Blue
 Thompson Red
 Wentworth Yellow

Students earn house points through merits, awards, and participation in events, building a sense of belonging and friendly competition across the school community.

Curriculum

Model Farms High School offers a broad curriculum across both junior (Years 7-10) and senior (Years 11-12) years, guided by the NSW Quality Teaching Framework. The school believes in the development of the whole child — recognising the strong relationship between academic, physical, mental, and socio-cultural needs:

  • Core subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, History, Geography, PDHPE, Languages
  • Creative and practical arts: Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Technology
  • Senior VET and elective pathways: Career and Technical Education options alongside standard HSC subjects
  • Extracurricular: sporting carnivals, cultural events, and community engagement activities

The school has received an LED Lighting Upgrade through the NSW Government’s $157.8 million program — one of approximately 1,000 schools across NSW receiving new energy-efficient lighting to improve learning environments.

Acknowledgement of Country

Model Farms High School acknowledges and pays respect to the Darug People — the traditional custodians of the land on which the school stands — and pays respect to Elders both past and present.
