"Our Mission Statement" To provide a supportive and engaging environment which enables students to develop the emotional, social, physical and academic skills to adapt and contribute positively to an ever changing world.
"The Adults we want our children to be" “Every Child, Every Opportunity, Everyday… Everyone’s Responsibility!”
Primary school children learn best through personal experiences - they learn by doing, by taking part and by being involved in giving meaning to their environment.
Great Ryrie's primary aim is to maximise children's options, both present and future, in order that they might achieve social flexibility, economic well-being and personal satisfaction. Great Ryrie Primary School wishes to help students develop lively, inquiring minds, a love of learning and a willingness to apply effort to worthwhile tasks. more....

LEST WE FORGET:
Last Thursday we went to the Shrine of Remembrance to represent Great Ryrie at the ANZAC Children‟s Service. Accompanying the 22 student leaders was our host, Richard Weekes from Yarra Valley Legacy. Upon our arrival we were presented with a programme, a sprig of rosemary and a red poppy. We were escorted to our seats and stood to welcome the arrival of the Governor, the Hon. Alex Chernov and his wife Elizabeth. The Governor and the Melbourne Legacy President, Bryce Phillips inspected the Guards. The choir made up of Melbourne High School and MacRobertson Girls‟ High School led the singing of "We Are Australian‟. Many schools like our own laid wreaths at the steps of the Eternal Flame. Mr Phillips recited "The Ode‟ and then a bugler played "The Last Post‟. After the service, we participated in a tour of the Shrine. We learnt how everything in the Shrine and around it represented something significant. We saw thousands of war medals on display in special glass cases, the names of listed soldiers (without rank), the flags of the infantry and we walked through the olive garden where all the wreaths were laid to rest. It was an incredible day, very moving and one that I shall never forget. Jess (4J) Follow our newsletter link to read more...
