Welcome to Canberra Primary School’s website.   We hope that it gives you a flavour of daily life at Canberra.
 
At Canberra Primary School our pupils are at the heart of everything that we do and we constantly strive to ensure that they are provided with a happy and safe learning environment where they receive the encouragement, challenge and support they require to achieve.
 
Canberra Primary School is an inclusive school where children are treated as individuals and nurtured to develop their skills and abilities.  We have high expectations of all of our children and recognise that they need opportunities to be both successful and challenged if they are to become independent, self-motivated and resilient.  We believe that the wide range of fun and creative learning opportunities provided combined with our caring ethos creates the conditions necessary for our children to achieve.
 
The partnership between home and school is central to our success and we aim to ensure that all parents and carers have the information they need to support their child.  We hope that the information, photographs and news articles available on our website helps to achieve this aim.

Summer Fair 30.5.25
Message from our Parent Council.

Dear Families, 
We are very excited to be holding our Summer Fair this Saturday (31st May) from 11am - 1:30pm. 

*Thanks for all your donations for the Tombola. There's still time to hand something in if you wish. 
*We've had a few offers of baking but will happily take more! If you can hand it in by 4pm on Friday, we would be very grateful.
*If you can spare some of your time to help out, it's not too late to offer!

We will be using a token system for paying for all the PC run stalls & games. Token stations will be available on entry and around the halls. This year we can take card as well as cash!

There isn't an entry fee but we will have a donation bucket available for you to pop something in if you are able.

We are looking forward to seeing lots of our Canberra families and please keep your fingers crossed that it stays dry!

Canberra Parent Council,

Sports Day 30.5.25
Thank you to everyone who was able to come along to our Sports Day on Thursday.  We were lucky with the weather and had a fantastic time.  The potted sports scores were very close and it came down to the afternoon races to decide the winning house.  One house was streets ahead racking up 34 'medal' places and were the deserved winners.  This was the first time this house has won Sports and they were delighted! 

The winning house is - Tay!

Congratulations!
