Welcome to Calista Primary School; Steering Towards the Future since 1964.

Our purpose is “to provide a safe and supportive environment which enables students to strive for personal, social and academic success. We prepare students to become functional citizens who are empowered to contribute to, and succeed in, an ever changing society.

This purpose is underpinned by our values of being safe, aspiring, inclusive, life-long learners. These form the basis of all that we do.

As outlined in our 2020-2023 Business Plan we have identified the following areas of focus:

· A positive, safe and orderly learning environment.

· High quality teaching and learning which enhances the success of every student.

· Strategic and shared leadership.

· Community connection and engagement.

We believe that all children deserve the best quality education possible; and work together as a cohesive team to ensure this. Our explicit teaching approach, coupled more recently with the opportunity for creative and innovative thinking, provide a positive and enjoyable schooling experience.

We encourage you to be actively engaged in your child’s education and work collaboratively with us to provide the best possible outcomes. We look forward to steering towards the future together.
