Children at Karridale Primary School fully appreciate everything that our small rural school offers – and that is a vibrant, nurturing and inclusive community.
Together we create a safe and friendly learning environment where children thrive and succeed.
Our emphasis on health and well-being is reflected in our motto ‘Growing through learning, active bodies and healthy minds”. We offer our children a childhood, where cubbies are possible, happy memories are created and a well-rounded, quality education is achieved to ensure a successful future for all.
Our experienced staff focus on the individual child, and learning is truly personalised for students to fulfil their potential. Our low staff turnover rate creates continuity and strengthens support for our students. No child is overlooked in our small classes. Our committed staff deliver targeted teaching to create success for all students.
