these oshc staff bullied me and shouted at me when i wouldnt pass a ball to a kid who wasnt even playing. everytime i went to this location i was tortured. the staff are so mean and joked about running over a cat. there charges are crazy and the staff are stupid. never send a child there. the staff are biased and always favour the little kids. some oshc staff are fun but they left after a while. the worst thing about this oshc is the staff called melissa. shes the one who made my life there a living hell, i will never forget when she punished me for looking behind a BUSH! this review is only about the oshc but the school itself is great (exept for the relief teachers, there crap) read more

I'm being biased but this has got to be the BEST primary school in SA! There are approximately 530 students and growing each year and no wonder, it has a fantastic principal and deputy, dedicated teachers and are on the ball and nip it in the bud when it comes to bullying, hence it's minimal. Belair Primary is part of the International Baccalaureate Programs and the National Curriculum as are the majority of all the other Primary Schools in the area. There is a proactive fund raising committee and a real sense of community throughout. The layout of the school is excellent with a parent car park and a kiss and drop zone off Laffers Road, without fear of kids running across the road to get to school.
