Nollamara Primary School, established in 1956, is an Independent Public School with an Intensive English Centre program, enrolling students from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
Nollamara Primary School uses Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) as a major instructional focus. Our lessons are strategically planned and we explicitly teach new concepts to mastery.
Nollamara PS promote meaningful relationships between parents and teachers with the shared goal of maximising learning and wellbeing outcomes for students.
Enrolment to attend Nollamara PS follows a simple process but may vary depending on where you live. We accept enrolment from International Students and visa holders.
Students are placed in age appropriate classes and consideration is given to prior educational background. Within each year level there are two phases: Phase 1 and Phase 2.
The student’s level of English language proficiency at the time of enrolment in Reading, Writing, Speaking and Listening determines which phase a student will be placed in as well as previous schooling information.
At Nollamara Primary School we are on a journey towards ensuring we achieve excellence as a staff, for our students and for the wider community. Our ‘REACH’ values of Respect, Excellence, Acceptance, Compassion and Honesty, guide our daily ‘way of being’ at Nollamara Primary. Being culturally inclusive, we empower our students to progress and feel proud of their achievements.
We strive to enable every student to reach their academic, social and emotional potential whilst becoming valuable members of our global community.
Nollamara primary incorporates Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) to improve academic and behaviour outcomes for every student. PBS emphasises agreed expectations for student and staff behaviour and uses data to guide practices across the entire school, in every class, every day.
