NEWSFLASH...

ENROLMENTS 2010

Our Priority Enrolment Area (PEA) comprises the  suburbs Watson, Downer and Hackett, and students resident in these suburbs are guaranteed a place in all year levels from Preschool to Year 6.  Siblings of students who currently attend Majura, and who live in the ACT will also be given a place at the school.

Enrolments for all year levels for 2010 are now open.  Students in our preschool programs (Watson and Downer units) this year DO NOT need to re-enrol for Kindergarten in 2010.

For more information about Enrolments, including the necessary forms, please visit the Enrolment page.

OUR NEW PLAYGROUND

Our new playground has been finished, and recently we had an Opening Ceremony.  We invited some special guests to come and help us celebrate.

Some of our junior classes and their Big Buddy classes came to the opening, along with a class from our Watson Preschool unit.

Our school band performed, then there was a drumroll, and Brian Armstrong (our Project Manager from the Department of Education and Training) and Miss Mac (our Principal) cut the ribbon.  Then all the kids played!

Majura is a Preschool to Year 6 (P-6) public primary school with a community focus actively involving staff, children and parents in a partnership to make schooling a positive and successful journey for all. 

It is situated in the north Canberra suburb of Watson, and is the local neighbourhood school for children from Watson, Downer and Hackett. We have three campuses; two preschool sites - Downer and Watson Preschool units, and a K-6 site at Majura Primary School.

At Majura we strongly focus on literacy and social justice. All other learning areas, especially numeracy and performing and visual arts, are ongoing features of Majura. The staff are highly professional, dynamic and caring. Parents are vitally and extensively involved in the school. The children are simply delightful.  With many families from around the world and a strong Indigenous community, Majura Primary School is proudly multicultural.
