Welcome to Solway

Choosing the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent. At Solway Primary School, we pride ourselves on offering an outstanding educational experience that nurtures confident, capable, and community-minded learners. Guided by our vision of empowering curious and caring learners to thrive in an inclusive community, we are committed to fostering a love of learning, a strong sense of belonging, and the skills needed for success. With a strong track record of academic achievement, a deep commitment to student wellbeing, and an engaging, supportive environment, Solway is a place where children truly flourish.

At Solway, we believe that every child deserves the best possible foundation for their future. Our dedicated teachers use evidence-informed practices to explicitly teach the knowledge, skills, and dispositions outlined in the Victorian Curriculum. Our literacy and numeracy programs are based on the science of learning, ensuring all students develop strong foundational skills. We set high expectations and provide targeted support, enabling each child to achieve their full potential.

One of the defining features of Solway Primary School is our warm and engaged community. Our parents and caregivers play an active role in school life, collaborating with staff to enhance learning opportunities and contribute to the ongoing success of our school. This strong partnership fosters a sense of belonging and connection for both students and families.

Beyond the core curriculum, we offer a rich variety of specialist programs designed to develop students’ talents and interests. From visual and performing arts to physical education, Science and Japanese, our programs provide opportunities for creativity, teamwork, and critical thinking. These enriching experiences help students develop a love for learning that extends beyond the classroom.

Student wellbeing is central to all that we do at Solway. We implement School Wide Positive Behaviour Supports (SWPBS) to foster a safe, respectful, and inclusive learning environment. Our approach is guided by our school values of Respect, Responsibility, and Resilience, which are embedded in daily interactions and expectations. Through SWPBS, we explicitly teach and reinforce these values, helping students develop strong interpersonal skills, self-regulation, and a sense of accountability. This approach ensures students feel valued, supported, and ready to learn each day.

Solway Primary School is proud to be a 5-star sustainable school. Our commitment to sustainability is embedded in both our curriculum and daily practices, teaching students the importance of caring for the environment. Our extensive, well-maintained school grounds provide ample space for play, sport, and outdoor learning, promoting physical health and wellbeing.

We invite you to discover what makes Solway Primary School a truly exceptional place for your child’s education. Our combination of academic excellence, strong community involvement, specialist programs, student wellbeing support, and beautiful learning spaces ensures every student is empowered to succeed.
