At Auburn Primary School we aim to offer a balanced and comprehensive learning program building on a strong foundation of literacy and numeracy as well as a broad range of specialist learning areas.

Our teaching and learning philosophy encourages children to:

• take responsibility for their behaviours and a pride in their achievements

• develop an awareness of the learning strategies which enable them to become independent, lifelong learners

• develop effective decision making, problem solving and critical thinking skills

• be socially connected and develop acceptable social skills

• learn to operate effectively as a part of a team

• undertake leadership roles through a variety of whole-school and classroom responsibilities and opportunities

• strive to perform to the best of their abilities
