About Us

Fisk Street Primary School has an enrolment of Fisk Street PS
170 students spread across eight classes. The school has
a full-time counsellor, an Aboriginal Education Teacher and an Aboriginal Community Education Officer.

There is a strong emphasis on student and staff wellbeing. Our school's Code of Cooperation has four values: honesty, respect, doing your best and teamwork. These values are taught explicitly through Circle Time, Child Protection Curriculum and the National Values Education Program. Literacy is a strong focus area; 'Accelerated Literacy' is taught R - 7.

The school will have the involvement of two literacy coaches and one leadership coach for the next three years (beginning in 2009) through the Supporting Improved Literacy Achievement Project. Respecting different cultures, particularly indigenous culture, is emphasised and taught throughout the school. Both NAIDOC and Reconciliation Weeks are celebrated. Health education has a priority and is explicitly taught through practical programs that use outside agencies where applicable. Sports involvement is encouraged and the school has committed to the 'Eat Well Be Active' program.
