About Us
Principal's Welcome
‘On behalf of the Albany Rise Primary School community, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and your family and thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Albany Rise Primary School promotes the academic, social and personal development of all students in a happy, secure and academically stimulating learning environment.
As you will see, Albany Rise Primary School offers our students much more than the basics. With a strong culture of academic rigour and the development of a growth mindset, high expectations, and an unwavering commitment to student wellbeing, Albany Rise Primary School ensures that every student reaches their maximum potential.
Children learn best when they feel safe, supported, happy and confident to be themselves. Predictable routines, clear expectations of behaviour, and input into their learning and goals contribute to students being engaged with their learning. The exceptional team of educators at Albany Rise Primary School work to truly know each child as an individual, using evidenced-based assessment to determine students’ academic level, and then use evidence-based practices to progress and stretch their learning.
Choosing the right school is about more than just academics—it’s about finding a place where your child will be nurtured, inspired, and supported to be their very best. I look forward to meeting you and answering any questions you may have, and warmly invite you to book a tour and see for yourself why we are so proud of our school.
Warm Regards,
Jane Capon,
Principal.
