Welcome to Pembroke Primary School
My name is Megan Ganter and I am the principal of Pembroke Primary School. We pride ourselves on our friendly community atmosphere and nurturing learning environment.
In 2017, we completed a 2.2 million dollar upgrade to our school and have beautiful new classrooms, STEM room and Library.
Our committed staff work together to enable each student to reach their potential as learners. We employ research-based teaching methods with a focus on developing high levels of English and Mathematics skills. We also offer a range of specialised programs including The Arts, Auslan, Physical Education and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) as well as activities such as Library, choir, Student Representative Council, camping program, interschool and representative sports, and a school production each year.
We encourage students to be respectful, responsible and trustworthy and we develop and promote these behaviours through the School-Wide Positive Behaviour Support approach. We want all of our students to feel safe and happy at school.
If you are interested in enrolling, I encourage you to contact the school office to book in a tour.

Drop off and Pick up procedure
Parents and guardians are to remain in their cars for drop off and pick up, to avoid too many adults gathering. A drop off and pick up zone will be marked out the front of the school on Pembroke Road. It will operate just like the one at the airport. If parents do need to come on to school grounds for whatever reason, please phone the office to make an appointment first. If longer term parking is required, please park outside our designated drop off and pick up zone.
