About the school: 

Gilgai Plains Primary School's learning philosophy is for all children to feel safe, happy, connected and achieving. Students will be supported to develop critical skills in literacy and numeracy. They will be inspired to be curious and engaged in a wide variety of authentic learning experiences. 

They will be taught by highly skilled and caring educators, who will also foster their social development, support their emotional well-being and get students actively involved in their learning. Gilgai Plains students will emerge as resilient and self-motivated, with the ability to articulate their goals and how they will achieve them. 

Key school features:

  • an administration building including a library and art, food and science learning spaces 
  • a performing arts and physical education building 
  • two learning neighbourhoods
  • two outdoor hardcourts
