Welcome to Gowrie Primary School
Welcome to Gowrie Primary School. Our website provides a window into the rich learning experiences, opportunities and achievements that make Gowrie a wonderful place for children to learn, grow and belong.
At Gowrie, we believe that positive relationships are at the heart of successful learning. The strength of our school lies in the partnerships we share with our students, staff, families and wider community. Together, we create a supportive and inclusive environment where every child is known, valued and encouraged to achieve their personal best.
We are committed to ensuring that all students learn in a safe, respectful and nurturing environment. Diversity is celebrated, inclusion is embraced and our school values underpin everything we do. Through our "Everyone Counts" philosophy, we foster a strong sense of belonging and help students develop the social, emotional and academic skills they need to thrive.
Our dedicated teaching and support staff work collaboratively to deliver high-quality, evidence-informed learning programs that respond to the needs of every student. We maintain a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, while also providing a broad range of opportunities that encourage creativity, curiosity, critical thinking and personal growth. Through ongoing assessment and professional learning, our staff continually refine their practice to ensure the best possible outcomes for all learners.
Since opening in 1983, Gowrie Primary School has proudly lived by its motto, "Today Prepares Tomorrow." This message remains as relevant today as ever. We are committed to equipping students with the knowledge, skills, confidence and character they need not only for success at school, but also for life beyond the classroom.
I feel incredibly privileged to serve as Principal of Gowrie Primary School and to work alongside such talented staff, engaged families and enthusiastic students. Every day I see kindness, perseverance, creativity and growth demonstrated across our community, and I am proud of the culture we have built together.
I encourage you to explore our website and discover more about the opportunities available at Gowrie Primary School. We also invite you to follow our Facebook page, where we regularly celebrate the learning, achievements and successes of our students. If you are considering Gowrie for your child or would like to learn more about our school, I would be delighted to meet with you and discuss how we can support your child's learning journey.
Warm regards,
Andrew Buesnel
Principal
