Quality Beginnings

At the start of each new year, students work with teachers to establish positive practices and protocols for working in the classroom and yard with peers and adults. Students learn our Values, our Code of Conduct, our positive behaviours and our high expectations at Albany Rise. We celebrate all this learning through our special ‘Quality Beginnings Celebration Morning’.

Camps

Camps are an important part of education for every student. Students build upon their communication and interpersonal skills, independence, confidence and self-esteem. Students foster an appreciation for the environment, new experiences and develop their sense of exploration.Albany Rise students attend a range of different camps whilst at Primary School. 

Excursions and Incursions

Each class participate in 1-2 excursions (out of school) or incursions (in school) each year. All excursions and incursions are researched and developed to increase students’ learning and experiences.

Fun Fiesta

Bi-annually the Albany Rise community have a Fun Fiesta. Our parent association, staff and students run many different stalls and activities. In the past we have had face painting, discos, mini-olympics, sponge throw, sweet stalls, craft stalls and many many more. Parents and other community members can run their own stall selling products or running children focused activities.
