ABOUT US

ABOUT US :

Welcome to Hallam Valley Primary School. It is our aim to provide a learning environment where children reach their individual potential. We do this by working together with the child, the parents and the teachers to form a productive partnership.

I would like to encourage you to take an active interest in your child’s education by becoming a parent helper in the classroom, attending special events, becoming a member of School Council or our Parents and Friends Association.

I am confident that your time at Hallam Valley will be a positive experience for both you and your child. The social and emotional wellbeing of our students is of vital importance and our programs are developed with this in mind. We work to develop confident and resilient students who are prepared to achieve personal excellence.

On behalf of the staff and the school council, I look forward to sharing an exciting time with you and your child as they progress, develop and mature at Hallam Valley Primary School.
