Mount Barker South Primary School

Canberra Private Schools introduces Mount Barker South Primary School in Mount Barker, for all your education and learning needs.

Welcome to Mount Barker South Primary School, a vibrant and exciting learning community. Mount Barker South prides itself on its quality relationships, and students and adults working collegially and collaboratively together to support students to achieve their goals.

Children are at the heart of everything we do.

At “The South” we strive for excellence, to earn trust and respect, and to build and strengthen relationships—not only with children and young people, but their parents, carers and the wider school community. We believe that the education of children is a partnership forged between the school and the community in which we live. We have a particular emphasis on ensuring high levels of achievement in Literacy, Numeracy & Science.  Our strong school values are encapsulated in what we call REACH - Respect, Excellence, Acceptance, Cooperation and Honesty.

Mount Barker South Primary School is located in Princes Road, Mount Barker. The South School is a student/community oriented school, hosting the two Regional Special Classes with a total enrolment of 170 students. We identify ourselves as being a ‘Science Focus School’ which respects and appreciates the contributions of all involved. Our ‘Science Focus’ status is a badge we wear with honour.

To assist you in making the important decision of which school to send your child/ren, I do not believe such a decision can ever be made based on web information alone. Accordingly, I encourage and invite you to call us to arrange a tour for you and your family so you can fully appreciate the benefits of joining the Mount Barker South Primary School learning community.
