School statement

Serpell Primary has a strong tradition and reputation in the provision of excellence in educational outcomes and the development of students who strive and achieve success in academic, artistic and sporting arenas. In March 2009 we were formally accredited as an International School by the Council of International Schools, providing recognition that the school meets the 65 standards of best practice in philosophy, governance, curriculum, staffing, student services, resources and community life. The school is committed to meeting the current and future needs of its students and in developing global citizenship and international networks. High emphasis is placed on academic achievement in the context of the development of programs for children of high potential and providing them with opportunities both within and outside the school. Serpell Primary School has a projected enrolment of approximately 900 students in 2010 and is organised in traditional year level groupings with modern teaching facilities supported by an extensive information and communication technology infrastructure. The school has generous sporting and recreational facilities to support the health and well-being of its students and enjoys positive working relationships with parents and the wider community.
