Our Staff


 

At Donvale Primary School, every child is known, valued and empowered to shine in their own unique way.

 

We are a welcoming, inclusive community with a genuine heart for children, families and wellbeing. Through strong relationships, passionate teaching and a safe, nurturing environment, we celebrate individuality, ignite curiosity, and inspire each learner to reach their full potential.

 

We are committed to continuous excellence in teaching and learning. Our approach is guided by Explicit Teaching in all Curriculum areas, differentiated teaching, tailored to academic, social and emotional needs, evidence-based intervention and targeted enrichment programs.

 

We are proud of our reputation for delivering a comprehension and innovative curriculum that fosters curiosity, challenge and high achievement.

 

By working closely with families, we ensure every child feels a true sense of belonging, confidence and joy throughout their primary school journey.
