Principal’s Message

Welcome to South Perth Primary School

Our school holds a special place in the heart of this community. First opened on 20 July 1898 as Forrest Street School, South Perth Primary School has a long and respected history of educational excellence and community connection. It is a privilege to continue this legacy as the new Principal in 2025, leading a school that honours its traditions and successes, while looking forward with a continued vision of excellence for every child.

At South Perth Primary School, we believe that every moment matters. Every interaction, every lesson, every experience at school shapes a child’s growth. That’s why we are deeply committed to creating a school environment where every student is seen, supported, and challenged to be their very best—every day. We proudly embrace and celebrate the diversity within our school and community, where every student is known by name, supported to achieve their individual needs, and inspired to pursue their interests and aspirations.

My leadership is underpinned by a commitment to high care, high expectations, and high accountability. These principles are reflected in every aspect of school life—from the way we teach and learn, to the relationships we build with families, and the way we support and extend every learner to reach their potential. Whether in the classroom, on the stage, or on the sporting field, our students are supported to achieve their personal best.

Our staff are dedicated and passionate educators who work collaboratively to ensure that all students are engaged, challenged, and equipped with the skills, knowledge and mindset to thrive—both now and into the future. We are proud of the strong partnerships we share with families and the broader community, which play a vital role in shaping our well-rounded students who are ready to make a positive impact in the world.

South Perth Primary School is more than just a place of learning—it is a place of belonging, of opportunity, and of growth, grounded in the school values of honesty, respect, responsibility, cooperation, and excellence. I warmly invite you to discover more about our school and to join us in ensuring that every student is empowered to learn, succeed and shine—because here, every moment truly counts.
