Welcome to our wonderful school.  Pinehaven School is situated in the heart of Pinehaven Community, nestled amongst bush and nature!  We have a peaceful environment, where the surrounding sounds and setting is conducive to learning. 

It is a privilege for me to work with the students who attend Pinehaven School, as well as to welcome new families to our school community.  The future for which we are preparing our students is ever-changing and none of us really know what careers and life experiences they will encounter.  At Pinehaven, we have strong values that we adhere to, which have been developed in consultation with our community.  These values all work to encourage children to be the best they can be and to support our vision of “nurturing and developing our leaders of tomorrow”. 

Strong partnerships between parents and teachers, where children are valued and empowered as active participants in the learning process, are vital for improving educational outcomes.  Our school is often described as the ‘hub’ of our community.  We value the input of parents and recognise the whole family as being paramount to our community.  Our school is fortunate to benefit from a supportive community who work alongside us to achieve the best possible results for our students.  We act upon feedback quickly to ensure all children are happy and safe at school.

Our quality teaching and support staff are all fully committed to making Pinehaven School a place where learning is the focus of everything we do, with fun along the way!  Our door is always open and we welcome visitors to our school.  If you are interested in finding out more about Pinehaven School as a schooling option for your child, please contact the school office and make a time to meet with me – I am more than happy to show prospective families around our school and answer any questions.
