17.01.2022 Sassafras Primary School offers small class size for all its classes and especially at Prep and Grade 1 to support Preschool transitions to school. The 2020 class enjoyed the extra individualised support at school. They have thrived with the extra time to develop their fine motor skills and social/emotional skills while at play. If you are still looking for the school that fits your Preschool child please contact us on 9755 - 1203 to speak to our Principal.

17.01.2022 Each year on Anzac Day Sassafras Primary School joins with our local community to commemorate our past and present Anzacs. We march and sing to show how much we appreciate the sacrifice of those who served to ensure we can live at peace. This year as we stand on our driveways instead of behind you in the march or next to you as we sing know that the children of Sassafras Primary have not forgotten. Please enjoy their thoughts and wishes on this strange Anzac Day as we make small sacrifices to ensure our communities safety knowing that we look forward to a time when we can be together again.

Ms Muratore has been blown away with how carefully and respectfully the students have engaged with the topic. It’s been lovely to see all students explore and understand the importance of looking after and appreciating how special it is to live where we do. From recycled hanging sculptures, to nature crowns and installations inspired by British Artist Andy Goldsworthy our students have played with shape, texture, form and colour. It’s beautiful work and everyone should be proud of what they have achieved

03.01.2022 Extremely proud of the young group of students who represented our school community today. They marched with respect and sang beautifully.

Lest we Forget.
