Deanside Primary School accommodates students from Foundation to Year 6.  Currently we have 24 classrooms operating in the school, with five Specialist areas of STEM, Visual Arts, Performing Arts, PE and Kitchen/Garden taught weekly. LOTE (AUSLAN) was introduced in 2024 and is delivered by all classroom teachers via an online platform.

Students are always at the centre of everything we do and we plan to their needs.  We pride ourselves on being a caring and innovative school, with a welcoming community and friendly culture. Deanside Primary School is focussed on developing respectful relationships between students, staff and families to ensure each student¿s social, emotional and academic learning is developed. All students have access to iPads and our teaching staff use Mac laptops in a technology immersed classroom environment with AppleTV¿s and document cameras.
