Newington Primary School

Our Story

Urquhart Park Primary School offers a vibrant and engaging education to our students. Our school community has a shared goal of providing for all aspects of each child’s academic, social, physical and emotional development. We want our school to be a safe place, where our students feel that they are valued, a place where they can thrive. At UPPS, our students are encouraged to appreciate the community around them and to see themselves as global citizens. In addition to acquiring knowledge, they are encouraged to respect and show compassion for others. Our students are fostered to communicate effectively and work collaboratively with others. As an authorised International Baccalaureate World School, our curriculum is built upon 21st century thinking where all facets of education are connected and interwoven.

Our students are immersed in a learning culture strengthened by encouragement, positive relationships, and a challenging curriculum that inspires creative and critical thinking. Inquiry-based learning is blended with other trusted teaching approaches to ensure that children receive instruction in all learning areas that is tailored to meet their needs.
