NEWSFLASH

Have you noticed our front garden?  The heavy machinery moved out, and the planting of our own Mount Majura Garden has happened!  A recent working bee saw 60 (YES 60!) parents, students and friends working together to plant our garden.  Drip irrigation is installed, and now we're waiting for the growing to begin! 

DID YOU KNOW?  The new front garden was paid for by our P&C with funds raised from the Trivia Night, the Spring Carnival and Raffle, the Mango Drive and other fundraisers held throughout the year.  Our garden truly IS proof that the Majura community is fantastic, and it's something we're very proud of.

ENVIRONMENT UPDATE

Our environment courtyard is a wonderful place for students, families and staff to spend time.  Our chickens are being very productive at the moment, and their eggs are available for purchase before school on Wednesdays in the school foyer.

Our Energy Savers (a sub committee of our Environment Committee, with two students from each class) and the Majura Staff encourage families and community members to join us in turning off lights and appliances at home, to save energy.  Find out more about our Energy Savers here.

Our 2007 Annual School Board Report is available here

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, 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.
