Welcome to Stanley Bay Primary School.  We are small but unique school situated in Stanley Bay on the North Shore's Devonport Peninsula. Our students are actively involved in their learning. We have an open door policy and you are invited to come in a visit us anytime. The school encourages and values parent and community involvement in the school. It is the close co-operation between parents and teachers that ensures quality educational experiences for our students. ​

Our school motto is "Those who do their best do well" and we expect each child to do their best in what ever is undertaken.  Our goal is to provide a school environment where pupils are safe, secure, happy, co-operative and where our key focus is on learning. 
​
At Stanley Bay, we want children to feel happy and secure to develop self-confidence in a safe and supportive environment where learning is central to all that we do.
