Welcome
Dear Parents and Friends of Harristown Primary School community,
Harristown Primary School has a proud tradition of offering the best possible educational opportunities for our students. Your child will complete their schooling well past the year 2010 which means they will require a school which prepares them for the future with the skills to contribute to our society.

  • Highly professional teachers with a commitment to quality learning
  • 2 hour uninterrupted literacy block in Years 1 - 4
  • An instrumental Music Program that offers students a choice of brass, woodwind, strings or percussion instruments
  • Totally integrated curriculum designed to engage lerners in real life experiences
  • Sporting opportunities to challenge outstanding athletes, with many students representing Darling Downs in various sports
  • Queensland's only Primary School Agricultural Studies Program
  • Specialist Intervention Programs that assist students needing support or extension with their learning
  • Lunch time options program including Computers, Sport and Library
  • Opportunities to extend skills in Art, Music and Physical Education, and

These and many more aspects of our community school make it one to which students enjoy coming to every day. If at any stage you have questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact the school.
