Building the foundations for success and happiness.
Our vision is to ignite a passion for learning in our students and equip them with the skills and mindset to thrive and achieve excellence.
Kismet means fate. Our crest is a horseshoe turned points-up — the one that holds the luck in. We think a child’s first seven years of school are less about luck than about being known: by a teacher who can name where they are up to, in a yard where someone notices if they are on their own.
About our schoolBe Your Best
Not be the best. Be YOUR best — measured against where you started, not against the child beside you.
Resilience
Hard is allowed. Getting it wrong is part of it. What matters is what happens next.
Respect
For each other, for the staff, for the yard and the gum trees it sits under.
Kindness
The one that makes a playground safe. Taught as deliberately as reading is.
The question nobody answers
What a Tuesday actually
looks like here
Every school website will tell you its programs. Almost none will tell you what your child's day feels like from the gate to home time. Walk it around the shoe.
The gate
Staff are on the gate and in the yard before the bell. Your child is greeted by name — not scanned, not counted. Bags on hooks, hats on in Terms 1 and 4, and there is time to stand about with a friend before anything begins.
Our curriculum
Taught deliberately, at the level your child is actually at
Strong literacy and numeracy underpinned by structured Inquiry and access to technology — with extension for students ready to stretch and intervention where it is needed.
Literacy
Explicit teaching, a reading goal your child can tell you, and small focus groups every day.
Numeracy
The same big idea, entered at the level your child is at. Hands-on early, real problems later.
Inquiry
A real question, chased across weeks, with something built or presented at the end of it.
Specialists
Visual Arts, Japanese from Prep, STEM, Physical Education and Performing Arts — every child, every week.
From the Principal
“All children can learn and achieve to high levels given the right time and support.”
It is the first of the five beliefs this school runs on. The other four are about what the adults owe that first one — high expectations for everyone, differentiation that is real rather than stated, shared responsibility for improving, and a principal who is still a learner.
