What makes our School Different?

Monday, 15 October 2007
flags_on_links.jpgLeith Primary is an amazing and historic building right on the edge of Leith Links.  Although the building hosts a number of different users the school has very spacious and flexible accommodation.  There are music rooms, a museum, a library and a newly planned art and practical room.

The school truly reflects its catchment area.  We are proud of the diversity of the children and families we serve.  We are proud of the quality of education we provide for all children. We have an excellent record in providing care, support and challenge for all pupils.  We promote positive behaviour, respect for all and encourage a positive attitude to learning.  

If you would like to see more please arrange a visit through the office.

Puppets in P3

Friday, 20 November 2009
puppets.jpgWe have a puppet theatre in P3.  Everyone enjoys playing in it as we have lots of puppets. We use it on Fridays at Golden Time activities. Our teacher brought us beautiful string puppets to try out. They are made of silk and come from Asia. Everyone wanted to take them for a walk and make them dance. Lachlan and Louis P3
