Executive Principal’s Welcome
Welcome to Richmond West Primary School
If you’ve ever stepped through our school gates, you’ll know there’s something truly special about Richmond West Primary School. Nestled among expansive, tree-lined grounds, our school feels like an oasis – amidst the inner-city hum.
At any time of the day, you’ll find a welcoming and vibrant community where students are engaged in their learning, collaborating with their peers, or simply enjoying play in the yard. Our focus is on fostering positive, caring relationships, with student wellbeing and engagement at the heart of everything we do. Our open-plan learning spaces and team-teaching approach ensure students build strong connections with multiple educators, enhancing both their academic and social growth.
Languages are a cornerstone of our identity. Our nationally recognised Chinese Bilingual Model and Vietnamese Immersion Pathway, along with the many languages spoken by our diverse community, bring our motto – ‘Many languages, one voice’ – to life. We are proud to provide an education that is globally minded, inclusive, and enriched by linguistic and cultural diversity.
Our curriculum nurtures the whole child, combining research-based, high-quality teaching with an openness to new ideas and innovation. We are a school that welcomes all, celebrates diversity, and actively encourages community involvement. Parents and carers are an integral part of our school, whether volunteering in classrooms, gardening, cooking with students, crafting costumes, or simply catching up after drop-off.
Guided by our 2022–2026 Strategic Plan, our Vision, Purpose, Mission, and Values reflect our unwavering commitment to student success, community engagement, and a culture of trust.
And of course, our signature colour – orange – is more than just a shade. It symbolises playfulness, inspiration, and harmony, mirroring the diverse and vibrant nature of our school community.
As the Executive Principal of Richmond West Primary School, I have the best job in the world. I invite you to explore and experience what makes our school so special.
