Principal’s Welcome
Daniel Frew – Principal of Lower Plenty Primary School
Welcome To Lower Plenty Primary School
Choosing a school means choosing a place where your child can grow in confidence, discover their strengths and be challenged to achieve their best. As Principal of Lower Plenty Primary School, I am proud to lead a school that combines a close community with ambitious learning opportunities.
We build on a long and proud history while preparing children for the world ahead. Our Montessori-informed approach brings together explicit teaching, hands-on learning and purposeful exploration. We develop strong foundations in literacy and numeracy alongside curiosity, creativity and independent thinking.
Known as individuals. Challenged as learners.
Our small school allows us to know each child well—their strengths, interests and the next steps in their learning. Through focused small-group teaching, we provide the support children need and the challenge that helps them progress. We encourage students to deepen their understanding, tackle complex ideas and take pride in producing thoughtful, high-quality work.
Hands-on materials help children explore concepts and build understanding. Opportunities to investigate questions and follow interests encourage them to become active, motivated learners who can apply their knowledge with confidence.
A community where children belong
At Lower Plenty, children build friendships across year levels. Our multi-age classrooms create opportunities to learn from others, take on leadership roles and develop independence and responsibility.
Relationships are central to our school. Staff know students by name, families are welcomed as partners, and children have trusted adults they can turn to. These connections give students the confidence to ask questions, attempt unfamiliar work and persist through challenges.
My commitment is to help every child flourish academically, socially and personally. I want our students to leave Lower Plenty with strong skills, a sense of purpose and the confidence to embrace opportunities beyond our school gates.

A Word From Our Parents
Lower Plenty has taught my son not only about academics but also so much about himself. The school model allows him to explore his thoughts and ideas– through both successes and failures – pushing him beyond his own preset boundaries. The teachers celebrate his successes and steadfastly stand by his side with support when it is needed. It’s a wonderful environment to grow in.
