Acknowledgement of Country

At Majura Primary School we all come together to live, learn and play on Ngunnawal Country. We walk in the footsteps of the Ngunnawal People (the traditional custodians of the land) who have walked on this country for tens of thousands of years before us and recognise any other people or families with connection to the lands of the ACT and region.

We respectfully acknowledge the Elders, past, present and emerging and thank them for their ongoing care for Country and for sharing their culture with us.

We recognise all First Nations People and their continuing and strong connection to Country.

Always was, always will be.

Principal's Message

It is my privilege to welcome you to Majura Primary School. Built in 1963, the school lies among the beautiful green suburb of Watson in Canberra’s inner north, the traditional land of the Ngunnawal people. Students learn here in an inclusive and caring environment that respects them as individuals and helps them develop as responsible and contributing citizens.

The content of the learning program at Majura Primary is informed by the Australian Curriculum and in the preschool by the Early Years Learning Framework. Our pedagogy is guided by our shared commitment to provide a quality education which supports our students to be culturally sensitive global citizens who enjoy learning, make friends, and establish connections within the community.

Learning at Majura Primary is underpinned by our values of Respect, Collaboration, Integrity, Resilience and Inclusivity. We use these values to guide our behaviours, and staff work together to develop the potential of every student through strong relationships and a commitment to students' personal learning goals.

We offer all our students enrichment of the classroom program through our specialist Music, Arts, Sustainability, French and Kitchen Garden specialist programs.

Majura is very much a community school. One of our key features is the significant investment of parents and the wider community to ensure our students receive the best education possible. We encourage your engagement in the education process.

If you are considering Majura Primary as the school for you or your child, you are welcome to contact the school and book a tour or appointment with me to talk about what Majura Primary can offer.
