Welcome to Teesdale Primary School

Welcome

On behalf of the staff at Teesdale Primary School, we would like to welcome you to our school.

Teesdale Primary School is located in the centre of a growing rural community and offers the advantages of a rural lifestyle. The student population is currently around 260 students. 

A feature of the school is the iconic original 1878 brick building.  The school also has a unique mud-brick multi-purpose centre, which was built by the community and is used for the Outside School Hours Care and the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program.  Our vegetable garden is purpose designed and emulates the shape of Blue Tongued Lizard and the Southern Cross.
