We are a proud Independent Public School which promotes an environment where students learn to take responsibility for their actions, respect and value diversity, and see themselves as global citizens who can contribute to a more peaceful and sustainable world.

At Atwell, we believe that every child has the right to the best possible education, and the educational process is best served when the school, the child, the teacher and the parent/carer work together in a positive way to support learning.

We want to maintain a culture in the school where students are actively engaged in the curriculum and are provided with interesting ways to learn; where they feel cared for by school staff and develop a sense of belonging to the school; and where teachers know them well, build on their strengths and encourage them to persist with tasks until they succeed.

Our staff are passionate, enthusiastic and strive to ensure our school attests to the vision statement of ‘building well-rounded citizens with a passion for lifelong learning’.

The teachers and support staff have a wide range of experience and are dedicated to enabling our Kindergarten to Year 6 students to participate in shaping a better shared future for the world.

We endeavour to build students’ resiliency skills and values through our Health and Wellbeing program, School Chaplaincy program and the partnerships we form with the parents and wider community.

Our focus is developing critical thinking skills, strong interpersonal skills and relationships and provide them with opportunities to develop their knowledge and understanding of digital technologies.
