About Us

A small school with a big backyard.

Beacon of Hope Primary School is a close-knit school in Amalinda where every child is known by name. We believe young kids learn best when they're moving, asking questions, and working alongside classmates they know well.

Small class sizes
No class larger than 22 students, every year.
Outdoor learning
Weekly lessons in our school garden and outdoor classroom.
Family involvement
Monthly classroom volunteer days and family reading nights.

"Every child who walks through our doors gets seen — not just as a student, but as a whole kid with something to offer."

Mrs Saffa

Principal, Beacon of Hope Primary School
