| Sutherland Dianella Primary School has a present enrolment of 294 students who come from many different cultures. This diversity appears to be an increasing trend for the school and the local community. School programs seek to celebrate this diversity and the Australian way of life. There exists a supportive community spirit that is indicative of a school of this size. Following research and a vigorous campaign, the school adopted the state fossil of the Go Go fish as its emblem in 1994.In 1996 the present school was established following an amalgamation between Sutherland and Dianella primary schools. The school became a Technology Focus school at this point in time by utilising an injection of funding provided, to assist with the amalgamation. This Technology focus continues today with the school marketing Technology Practicums to assist and train other educators throughout the state. The school has a central lab and also pods of computers in each classroom and the technology skills are integrated across the curriculum using productivity software. In 2003 an enterprise project resulted in the senior students in the school producing and selling a video on co-operative learning. Co-operative learning and autonomous learning are a teaching focus in the school. The school staff are enthusiastic and experienced and the students are well behaved and positive. In 2005 four staff members on the school's Leadership Team, were awarded a Westfield Premier's Scholarship. This scholarship enabled the staff to research active citizenship programs overseas. The staff are actively involved in developing leadership and citizenship skills from K-7. Attention to Student decision making and opportunities for students to practice active local and global citizenship skills can be demonstrated with regular class meetings and a Senior Student Parliament. Senior students also regularly meet students from the non government Carmel Primary School and the Australian Islamic School in a cross cultural program called SUN. (Students Uniting Nations) The parents are keen to contribute with all school activities. The P&C is very proactive in providing additional funds to support school programs and students in their learning. Many of the fundraising events are focused on family enjoyment. School facilities include a canteen, managed by the P&C, art room, automated library, early childhood centre and a Music room that is resourced by a Music Specialist.
