Welcome to Margaret River Primary School, online. Nestled in the very heart of Margaret River, our school is part of an
education precinct which is growing with the prosperity of the town. The next
three years will see us become an integral part of a vibrant learning campus,
encompassing not only the primary school and adjacent Community Kindy, but our
high school and the Margaret River Education Campus. It’s certainly an
exciting time for students, whether four..... or ninety four! What are we, the largest primary school south of Bunbury, all about?
What should we be all about? Education researcher Dr John Goodlad once asked the very open-ended question:
“What do parents want?” His subsequent research indicated that we
parents want it all.... . No surprises there; particularly as new
learning theories such as ‘Multiple Intelligences’ challenge schools to meet
the individual needs of all learners, unlocking the talents, gifts and potential
of each and every student with whose successful development we’re entrusted. We want it all..... . We want our children to be academically robust;
physically sound; artistically creative; morally and ethically prepared;
self-reliant and independent in their learning, yet able to work cooperatively
with others, as part of a team; technologically adept; media-wise; globally
aware... The challenge of meeting the needs of tomorrow’s young adults is
impressively met at Margaret River Primary. We’ve an experienced,
well-qualified, enthusiastic staff; outstanding specialists in Music, Art,
LOTE Indonesian and Information Communication Technology (computing);
attractive grounds and buildings; excellent teaching and learning resources;
and the energy and will to help children joyfully discover and develop their
potential. The best we can help achieve for each child will be the result of
partnerships; strong relationships between staff, students and parents, but also
with other schools, with local businesses and other government and
non-government organisations.
