From The Principal
Linton Primary School is an inclusive school where our students feel valued, cared for, and have a sense of belongingness.
As a small school, we pride ourselves upon the ability to provide a nurturing environment that promotes independence through challenging experiences, a passion and enthusiasm for learning which ultimately prepares students to become reflective, valued members in a global society. We believe in a holistic approach to teaching and learning supporting the growth of the whole child offering quality learning opportunities where students can achieve the best possible outcomes.
The students participate in many specialist programs such as The Arts – Visual and Performing Arts, Physical Education, Science, and Languages Other Than English (AUSLAN). Students have access to an exciting array of extra- and intra-curriculum programs that enhance personal and academic achievement within the school in partnership with other small schools including Cape Clear, Napoleons, and Woady Yaloak Primary Schools.
We are very proud of our student's achievements and we look forward to the future with confidence.
