Welcome to Hamley Bridge Primary School
Hamley Bridge School has a
long history of almost 130 years. The
first record was in 1874 when it was granted a licence.
The school operated for only 119 day in its first year. The teacher
Elizabeth Bell ran lessons from the chapel. The school only had 30
students, 14 boys and 16 girls.
In 1880 the school was reclassified as a public school and Mr John
McMahon was the schools first principal to be appointed by the
Education Department.
Hamley
Bridge Primary School, situated in the Gilbert Valley,
recently
celebrated 125 years of public education with an ethos of;
'Learning for
Life with Respect and Trust'.
The school has a strong focus on literacy
and numeracy with a recently- appointed literacy coach employed to
support
student learning.
Students engage in an environmental studies program that
focuses on recycle/re-use, gardening, water care and climate change.
Older
students participate in the 'Water Watch' program.
Opportunities exist for
individual students to extend their interests in activities such as
choir,
sport, art and poetry. Also, students are able to develop their
leadership
skills with 'Student Voice' committees operating in the areas of
community, fundraising, sports and public speaking.
The community and
fundraising groups were recognised at the inaugural 'Vinnies Awards'
for
their contribution to local community and charity groups. The school
recently became an 'Active after school communities' site with sessions
being offered twice a week.
