Clarkson Primary School (PS) is a vibrant and inclusive school community that celebrates rich cultural diversity, with a high proportion of students from language backgrounds other than English. Approximately 17% of our students identify as Aboriginal.

As a proud Connected Community School, we work in strong partnership with families, agencies, and community organisations to support student wellbeing, engagement and success. Our school is supported by a Family and Student Engagement and Liaison Officer, Student Wellbeing Officer, Aboriginal and Islander Education Officer, and School Psychologist, ensuring a collaborative and wraparound approach to student support.

Staff at Clarkson PS are committed to the development of the whole child and place students at the centre of all planning. We are supported by an engaged School Board and an active Parents and Citizens Association, both of which contribute to a strong sense of community and shared responsibility for student success.
