The Principal's Welcome
Welcome to our school! We understand that choosing a school for your child is a major decision. I hope that this information provides you with a clearer understanding of our values, spirit and performance, and of what makes Richmond Primary a great place to be.
Richmond Primary School has a long and rich history, and was founded in 1878 on its current site, with a complete building reconstruction in the 1970s. The school is renowned for its inclusive culture, supportive learning environment, rich arts program and quality teaching staff.
The school is founded upon these core values:
- confident, life-long learning
- integrity and self-esteem
- trust and co-operation
- respect and resilience
- leadership and excellence in learning
I welcome the opportunity to speak to you personally about what Richmond Primary School has to offer your child.
