Facilities

Hawker Primary has large open plan units, single classrooms, wet areas and media rooms.  In addition to two networked computer labs all teaching spaces have access to a bank of networked computers and interactive white boards.

Our resource centre is the hub of the school providing students with opportunities to research on the internet, borrow books, engage in a strategic game of chess or even use our interactive white board.  Parents are also able to borrow from our resource centre.

Hawker is renowned for its environmental centre. This is a stunning courtyard with features such as worm farms, vegetable gardens, fish ponds and garden ornaments straight from the African jungles.  The courtyard is an excellent setting for our students to learn about our environment.  Hawker Primary was the first ACT Government School to become a WASTE WISE school.

The school hall is used for drama, music, games assemblies and performances.  Our multipurpose area is situated outside the canteen and is also used for after school care.

Our school grounds are spacious and provide a variety of areas for children to use.  Our P&C has contributed greatly to the outdoor equipment that is suitable for all children.  We have two areas of play equipment.   One shade structured area caters to children in K-3 and the other caters for children in years 3-6.  An authentic cricket pitch was installed last year.  We also have a large all weather shelter shed that serves as an outdoor meeting place for the whole school as well as a shaded recreational area.
