Wel­come to Casua­r­i­na Street Pri­ma­ry School and thank you for vis­it­ing our website.

Casua­r­i­na Street Pri­ma­ry School would like to acknowl­edge the ances­tral lands of Katherine’s abo­rig­i­nal peo­ple. We acknowl­edge that we are on coun­try and pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging. 

Let’s begin by look­ing at our school vision:

“We strive to achieve”. 
Learn­ers at CSPS have an embed­ded belief that they are capa­ble of achiev­ing suc­cess. Learn­ers are able to artic­u­late their goals and devise a plan to achieve them.”

This CSPS vision guides us in all that we do here at Casua­r­i­na Street Pri­ma­ry School. We have amaz­ing staff who con­tribute great­ly to the vision of our school, con­tin­u­ous­ly improv­ing and work­ing towards ensur­ing that our stu­dents have suc­cess in their learn­ing. Our par­ents sup­port us and our stu­dents demon­strate the 4 school val­ues of Pride, Respect, Respon­si­bil­i­ty and Inclu­sions through­out the year.

Casua­r­i­na Street Pri­ma­ry School is a grow­ing and vibrant school locat­ed in the devel­op­ing area of Kather­ine East with a cur­rent enrol­ment of 370 stu­dents. Our vision is that Learn­ers at CSPS have an embed­ded belief that they are capa­ble of achiev­ing suc­cess. They are able to artic­u­late their goals and to devise a plan to achieve them. CSPS is a North­ern Ter­ri­to­ry School of Excel­lence and has been recog­nised for both its sig­nif­i­cant improve­ment in stu­dent out­comes and inno­v­a­tive prac­tices. It is also one of 14 Inde­pen­dent Pub­lic Schools in the NT.

A large pro­por­tion of stu­dents at CSPS are part of the Aus­tralian Defence Force com­mu­ni­ty locat­ed at RAAF Base Tin­dal. In addi­tion, stu­dents attend­ing CSPS iden­ti­fy as Abo­rig­i­nal and/or Tor­res Strait Islander. CSPS caters for a diverse range of learn­ers includ­ing those with addi­tion­al needs and those iden­ti­fied as being gift­ed and tal­ent­ed. A range of con­nec­tions and ini­tia­tives place the school at the heart of the Kather­ine Com­mu­ni­ty, with high lev­els of atten­dance and engagement. 

As an Inde­pen­dent Pub­lic School CSPS we work close­ly with the CSPS Board and asso­ci­at­ed sub-com­mit­­tees to devel­op future strate­gic ini­tia­tives and to pro­vide ongo­ing gov­er­nance of the school struc­tures and procedures.

Casua­r­i­na Street Pri­ma­ry School (CSPS) is locat­ed on Casua­r­i­na Street in Kather­ine East, Kather­ine.
