Merrivale Primary School

My child has been at Merrivale for three years now and has found the teachers to be warm and attentive. As a parent I found the teachers and office staff to be welcoming and have been able to communicate with them freely. I feel that my requests have been met and any issues that we have bought to their attention have been diffused and sorted upon request. Merrivale is a great community school and we enjoy it so much our second child will be in attendance in 2019.

I could not speak highly enough about the strong community involvement that the school encourages and supports. I have been involved with merrivale primary school for four years, the staff at the school have undertaken my dealings with them with the utmost professionalism and in a very timely manner. The staff at merrivale in my years if experience go above and beyond, to ensure that the lines of communication between teaching staff and parents remain open at all times. Any concerns i have had as a parent have been dealt with in a timely and considerate manner.
I have always felt the utmost transperancy from this school, looking forward to many more happy years at Merrivale.

My son Cael loves Merrivale Primary School. His first school was in another state and it was extremely challenging to convince him to go to school every day. He loves Merrivale Primary School. According to him it’s the “best school ever” and he thought his teacher Miss McCosh - who taught him last year - was the “best teacher ever” but now Mr T gets the same praise. I have a happy boy who loves school and I couldn’t ask for anything more as a parent.

I have worked at Merrivale Primary School for the past 18 years. I love the small school, strong community feel so much that my own children attend Merrivale PS. It really is a small school with BIG OPPORTUNITIES! The students abide by the school agreements of Mutual Respect, Attentive Listening, Appreciations/No Put Downs, Personal Best and Right to Participate. The wellbeing curriculum focusses on building the students 24 character strengths and making sure that all students are safe, happy and thriving. We have a primary welfare officer who assists both students and parents with any issues they are experiencing both at school and home. Students learn to resolve conflict through restorative conferences and work to change behaviour, not purely punish 'bad choices'. In my experience Merrivale Primary School really is the place to be!

I can not speak highly enough of the staff and students at Merrivale Primary.
Since moving to the school last year they have welcomed our family, making the transition extremely easy for everyone.
We are looking forward to many more years at Merrivale Primary!

As a student at merrivale I love the school and my teacher is very welcoming and the office always has a smile and the principal is good and bad

Great place to send your kids the students are all very nice and the staff really care about there students

worst trade deal in the history of ever. 10/10 IGN.

Nice and good service

It was a fairly good school, however there were teacher's favourites getting awards almost or every week in assembly. There are quite a few opportunities. Not as good as it used to be so I recommend it up to you whether U send your kids there

This school is a joke. They allowed my child to be bullied by a teachers child for over a year. My daughter would get in trouble for telling me and not them.. they did nothing when my daughter was hit by this same child. I had to call up furious and still no punishment for this girl. They put up a front but once your child is there... some teachers even call the kids names and degrade them. By the time my daughter was put with a decent teacher who was new..the damage was already done. No effort to speak to me once i said she would be leaving and took over a week to get my daughter's belongings back. A lot of unhappy parents i met there. Don't even bother.

i got harrased and bullied at that school by everyone including teachers and the principal never go to this school
