From Our Principal
I welcome the opportunity to introduce you to Reservoir Primary School. I am very proud to be the principal of this amazing community whose reputation resides with the exceptional students, dedicated teachers of calibre and family support that ensures a strong link between home and school. Our students are at the heart of what we do and decisions we make.
I believe that having quality, inspirational and passionate teachers is essential to a school’s success. I know that classroom teachers are best equipped to provide a safe and secure learning environment that ensures students flourish in their learning and wellbeing. Our collaborative approach to planning for all our children is maximized by the experience and expertise we are able to tap into with our diversely qualified teaching staff.
Reservoir Primary School has a strong culture of high expectations and is committed to excellence. We are also proud of our inclusivity and diversity, ensuring all students, staff and families are welcomed and celebrated. Our staff have an unrelenting determination for everyone to succeed.
Learning is more than an academic pursuit; it is knowing and doing more than you did yesterday. We provide a balance between a student’s intellectual, physical, emotional and relational needs. We are passionate about challenging our students at their point of need and for supporting children who require additional help through our multi-tiered system approach to support.
Students at Reservoir Primary School participate in a wide range of cultural, technological, environmental, creative and sporting events with our specialist subjects of Arts, Auslan, Physical Education and STEM. We also enjoy so many learning experience through excursions, incursions, camps and special days.
Our climate for learning is exceptional. We work with our students in a collaborative and orderly atmosphere of mutual respect and trust. This gives them a sense of belonging and safety and a pride in our school and in themselves and helps them fully realise their potential.
Warmest Wishes,
Carolyn Bamberg

To start primary school, your child will need to turn five years old by 30 April in the year that they start school, and have started school in the year they turn six years of age. The enrolment procedure for Reservoir Primary School is simple and we’re here to help. Enrolment forms are also available from the school office.

Foundation Transition
During our Foundation Transition program held in Term 4, pre-school children have the opportunity to meet their teacher and the other pre-school children during informal play sessions. These sessions instil familiarity with classmates, teachers and surroundings, helping to make their first days at primary school less daunting.
Our Better Buddies program assists with the transition of the first year of primary school allowing our older students to look out for their young buddies – encouraging a positive and caring school culture.
Transfer from other schools
Entry at other year levels is welcomed, both from students whose families are new to the area, or if they are looking to change schools.
An information booklet will be given to all new families; it outlines details of our educational programs and school organisation and includes handy hints to help your child make the transition to our school.
