Primary School

Korowal’s Primary School provides a nurturing and stimulating environment for the development of social, academic, and creative learning. As a registered NESA (NSW Education Standards Authority) school, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of education. From kindergarten onwards, we emphasize quality in every aspect of our school life—our classrooms are bright, welcoming, and well-equipped; our teachers are professional, caring, and deeply committed to each child’s development. We encourage our students to make original, creative connections, turn ideas into actions, and take risks based on their understanding of themselves and the world around them.

Creating a safe environment for our youngest students to experience positive, enriching learning outcomes is central to our educational vision at Korowal School. These early school experiences are our first opportunity to instill a belief in the value of education and a lifelong joy for learning.

Your child will grow socially and emotionally, developing their communication skills, building self-confidence, and learning to be creative. They will also develop essential skills in reading, writing, and mathematics, all within a supportive and inspiring environment.

Primary School Bush School

Bush School is a unique program at Korowal, where one day each term is dedicated to outdoor learning in our beautiful natural school grounds. Bush School days help build emotional and social skills, resilience, and a deep connection with the natural world. The activities offered during Bush School provide diverse opportunities for students to enjoy, relax, observe, learn, explain, discuss, and create.

Each term, we introduce new activities, while also offering a few tried, true, and well-loved favourites, such as:

• A campfire set in a clearing among the trees, focusing on creating a safe, informative, relaxing, and nurturing space—often accompanied by the treat of damper and honey.
• Natural craft activities like weaving, tree-stars, stone painting, and constructing Native Bee hotels.
• Nature exploration, including finding, sorting, drawing, and describing plants and animals from the bush.
• Bush regeneration, weeding, and planting native trees.
• Creating mandalas from natural materials such as leaves, gum nuts, banksia cones, and flowers.

We often welcome special visitors to Bush School, depending on their area of interest and expertise.

Bush School groups consist of mixed age groups from Kindergarten to Year 6, designed to build friendships across age levels and provide leadership opportunities for our older primary students.
