Welcome
Christies Beach Primary School is an R to 7 school situated in the picturesque beachside suburb of Christies Beach. The school has an enrolment of over 430 students, having grown from approximately 300 in 2004. We offer an outstanding Aboriginal Education programme which has been instrumental in increasing our Aboriginal enrolments from 10 in 2005 to 47 in 2011.
The school actively promotes its values of caring, respect, co-operation and success and prides itself on its restorative practices when managing student behaviour. To support this approach a huge focus at our site recently has been the implementation of Play Is the Way. Specialist offerings include the Performing Arts, Indonesian, ICT and Science while physical activity is strongly promoted. The students regularly achieve success in a range of sporting endeavours, have been state winners of the Wakakirri Dance Festival and have been finalists in national film-making competitions.
Staff are committed to developing and promoting a culture of care with students, staff and the wider community. The school is committed to the 'Accelerated Literacy' teaching strategies and all classes are undertaking a new and dynamic approach to the teaching of mathematics known as 'Big Ideas In Number'. Christies Beach Primary has been involved in the new TfEL framework over the past two years with the appointment of a Specialist Teacher to support its implementation.
