From the Whitehall Primary School
Making selections about your child's education is among the most significant choices you will ever make. Each young person will grow and develop through infancy and adolescence into maturity beginning with their first steps into the nursery environment. At Whitehall Primary School, we strive to give students the best opportunities in life to get them started on this path. We provide high expectations for behaviour and conduct, high standards for teaching and learning, and an engaging curriculum that will support and challenge all students from Nursery through Year 6. We firmly think that kids learn best when they feel appreciated and are aware of the valuable contributions they make to both school and society at large. As a result, our curriculum attempts to inspire and motivate all of our students so that they make intellectual, social, and spiritual progress both inside and outside of the classroom. The outcomes that we all want for our students can only be reached via collaboration, so we wholeheartedly encourage parents to take an active part in school life. Please come and visit if you want to learn more about us. We are excited to meet you.
