Welcome to Illawarra Primary School — a vibrant and inclusive learning community where every child is supported to thrive.

At Illawarra, we are committed to high-quality education through innovative, evidence-based teaching. Our dedicated and experienced staff engage students in purposeful learning that builds curiosity, confidence, and achievement. High expectations, explicit teaching, and a strong growth mindset underpin everything we do.

We proudly celebrate the diversity of our community and value the cultures, experiences, and perspectives our families bring. This is reflected in our shared expectations of Respect, Organisation, Aspiration, Resilience, and Safety, which guide how we learn, connect, and grow together.

Students enjoy a rich and engaging curriculum, including specialist programs in Science, Health and Physical Education, Music, and Languages, supported by modern technologies and well-resourced learning environments.

Student wellbeing is central to our approach. Through restorative practices and positive behaviour support, we nurture respectful relationships and empower students to take responsibility for their actions.

Strong partnerships with families, our P&C Association, and School Board strengthen our school and drive continual improvement.

We look forward to welcoming you to Illawarra Primary School and working together to support your child’s academic, social, and emotional success.
