"You can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."   - Clay P. Bedford 

Southbourne Primary School is an English-medium institution rooted in Christian values, committed to serving our surrounding community. As a fee-paying quintile 4 school, our extensive offerings belie our classification. With devoted staff providing personalized attention to each learner, we continue to evolve annually, enhancing both our teaching curriculum and school infrastructure. 

Welcome to our beautiful school.

Our Vision

Our way of service, guidance and inclusion will be a compass towards excellence in education. To create a curious and inclusive safe learning environment, where learners and staff members excel holistically. To build the school up to its full potential using the help and guidance of our community. To empower the learners and staff members through academic, sport and cultural activities. Wellbeing is a priority and harmony is achieved through caring for everyone’s mind, body and spirit. 

Our Mission

We strive to keep our class numbers small, where learners interact cooperatively to reach their academic milestones, with educators as facilitators. Developing and enriching our staff members through workshops, and further education and training. To encourage all learners to represent the school at a higher level, whether it’s academics, sport or cultural. Establishing a safe environment for each learner and staff member by providing a place where everyone is accepted and encouraged to be who they are.
