At Uraidla Primary we believe that the best conditions for learning are a result of families, children and school staff working closely together; in other words “It takes a village to raise a child”. We are very grateful that our families are supportive of the school and are true partners in their children’s education.

There are many opportunities for parent participation, whether it’s membership of our Parents and Friends group, Governing Council, listening to students reading in the classroom, driving students to and from events and excursions or supporting the learning program at home. We have a very strong and connected community, and we really value our involvement with local groups such as Imagine Uraidla and the Summerhill retirement village, and our participation in local events such as the Uraidla Show and Sustainability Fair.

I feel very fortunate to have such a close connection with Uraidla Primary School — first as a student myself, and now as a parent with children who are the third generation to attend. I value the school’s strong sense of community, its supportive and dedicated staff, and the way it nurtures each child to be confident, curious and kind. As Chair of the Governing Council, I want to work alongside staff and families to help make our school a place where every child feels supported, included and proud to belong.
