Newtown
Primary
School

At Newtown Primary School, your child is not one of a crowd — they are known. With a current enrolment of 170 students across seven generalist classrooms and an average class size of just 24, our teachers and support staff know every child’s name, their strengths, and exactly what they need to thrive.

In a local landscape of much larger schools, that is not a small thing. It is everything.

Respect for Self. Respect for Others. Respect for Learning. Respect for the Environment.

A message from the Principal

Welcome to Newtown Primary School — where your child’s journey to success begins!

We’re passionate about more than just teaching; we’re dedicated to igniting curiosity, building confidence, and empowering every student to thrive. Whatever path your child chooses in the years ahead, we’re committed to giving them the tools, skills, and belief in themselves to make it happen.

Thank you for considering us as the place where that journey starts.

Voices of Newtown

Hear what families value most about being part of our school community.

Thank-you for your support of our child throughout the years at NPS. You have really assisted them to grow & thrive.

Thank you so much for the tour, we were very impressed. We loved the schools focus on literacy and numeracy as well as the specialist subjects offered. I was so pleased to hear that Newtown Primary has such a wonderful community atmosphere, something which I feel is so important!

Without the continued support from teachers and principals, I would be constantly concerned about my child’s mental health and wellbeing. They feel safe at school, are doing extremely well, and loves going to school every day!

The school has a great mix and organisation of events. Amazing work NPS! The parent involvement in community events is outstanding.

We just have to say how grateful we are to all the wonderful teachers at NPS. We couldn’t be happier with the wonderful care they give to our boys – we know how lucky we are and feel very grateful

The school concert was absolutely fantastic! We loved the venue as it added to the excitement of the experience for students and families. Wonderful! Don’t change a thing!

Thank you for such a great start to the year. The really strong, consistent communication regarding what’s happening at the school, the classroom, learning planned and reflections. It is very appreciated. Thankyou
