Proud member of the Meyer Education Group
Where every child is known. Every child is challenged. Every child is inspired.
Welcome
At Harrington Primary School, we believe that every child deserves to be seen, supported and inspired to become the very best version of themselves.
As a proud member of the Meyer Education Group, we provide an environment where academic excellence, individualised support and genuine care go hand in hand. Our smaller class sizes allow our teachers to know every learner personally, ensuring that each child receives the attention, encouragement and intervention they need to grow in confidence and achieve their full potential.
We believe education is about so much more than marks. It is about building character, nurturing curiosity, developing resilience and creating opportunities for every child to discover their unique strengths.
At Harrington, children don't simply attend school. They become part of a family.
The Harrington Difference
Our learners are known by name, understood as individuals and encouraged to discover their unique strengths. Through exceptional teaching, personalised support and strong partnerships with families, we create an environment where children feel safe to learn, confident to grow and inspired to succeed.
We celebrate every achievement, support every challenge and believe that, with the right guidance, encouragement and opportunities, every child can flourish.
Because when a child is truly known, they are empowered to achieve extraordinary things.
Why families choose Harrington
Small class sizes mean every learner is known by name. We identify strengths, recognise challenges early and provide meaningful intervention where needed, ensuring every learner receives the support necessary to succeed academically and personally.
Our dedicated educators maintain high expectations while providing personalised support. Through quality teaching, continuous assessment, careful monitoring of learner progress and targeted intervention, we help every learner achieve their full potential.
Respect, kindness, responsibility, integrity and resilience are values that are lived every day. We believe education should prepare children not only for high school, but for life.
Learning extends far beyond the classroom through sport, culture, leadership opportunities, camps, educational excursions, community outreach, performing arts and memorable school events that develop confident, capable and compassionate young people.
Children learn best when they feel safe, valued and respected. We strive to create a school where every learner experiences a genuine sense of belonging and is excited to come to school each day.
We believe that the greatest success is achieved when parents and teachers work together. Open communication, mutual trust and collaboration between home and school are fundamental to every learner's educational journey.
Our Vision
To inspire confident, compassionate and capable young people who strive for excellence, embrace challenges and make a positive contribution to the world around them.

A message from our Principal
Sarah-Jane Volker
Principal
Welcome to Harrington Primary School.
As Principal, I believe education is about far more than preparing children for examinations. It is about nurturing confident, compassionate and resilient young people who believe in themselves and their ability to make a positive difference.
At Harrington, we have created a school where children are encouraged to dream big, work hard, show kindness and strive for excellence in everything they do. Every learner is valued, every achievement is celebrated and every challenge becomes an opportunity to grow.
Together with our dedicated staff and supportive families, we are committed to ensuring every learner receives the care, encouragement and opportunities they need to flourish academically, socially and emotionally.
Our vision is simple: to provide an exceptional education within a caring community where children are known, challenged and inspired every single day. I look forward to welcoming your family into ours.
