Highbury Primary School

A belated but heartfelt thank you to the amazing volunteers in our school community.

During National Volunteer Week - and every week - we celebrate the time, care, and energy you give to help our school thrive. Thank you for all that you do!

Keep an eye out for an invitation to a celebratory morning tea!

📚✨ Today our whole school came together in the gym for National Simultaneous Storytime! Students and staff joined schools, libraries and communities all across Australia to listen to this year’s story being read aloud.

National Simultaneous Storytime is an annual event that celebrates the joy of reading, literacy and storytelling while connecting children around the country through one shared book experience. 💛

This year’s story teaches young readers about overcoming adversity, trusting their skills, and defying those who underestimate them. Our classrooms have been buzzing with exciting activities inspired by the book — from art and writing tasks to hands-on learning experiences. 📖🎨✏️

What a wonderful way to celebrate books, learning and reading together as a school community!

Our Highbury SAPSASA Soccer teams showed incredible determination and team spirit as they braved the pouring rain at last week’s TTG District SAPSASA Soccer Carnival!

The boys’ team finished an impressive third overall, playing some outstanding soccer throughout the day. Their ball movement and defensive pressure were exceptional, and despite creating plenty of opportunities, they were unlucky not to convert more goals.

Our girls’ team achieved a fantastic second-place finish, with many students playing competitive soccer for the first time. The team showcased tremendous growth, resilience, and teamwork, along with some spectacular goals from our Year 5 students. First place narrowly slipped away after an unfortunate goal conceded against the eventual champions.

A huge thank you to Mr K, Mr T and Mr B for coaching and supporting our students throughout the carnival. We are incredibly proud of all our players for the way they represented Highbury!l!
