Swan View Primary School

Swan View Primary School

Swan View Primary School is situated apporximately 25 kilometres from Perth and 4 kilometres from the heart of Midland.

Presently, there are 400 students enrolled in the school from kindergarten to year 7. There is a 120 Aboriginal enrolment and while most of the students come from the local Swan View area there is an 180 enrolment from outside the local intake area.

The reasons given for moving to our school are our strong pastoral care and behaviour management process and quality programmes.

The school consists of 18 classrooms, two pre-primary units, and a kindergarten. There are 12 primary classes, an education support unit, two pre-primary groups and one kindergarten group. There is an excellent resource centre, a music room, art room, computer room, undercover area and a canteen.

The majority of the teaching staff have been teaching for more than 10 years. The school is advantaged by the stability of the staff. In 2005 we became a local merit select school and in 2006 have appointed three staff through this process.

There are 10 education assistants working in kindergarten, pre-primary, junior primary and with special needs students. The school has the services of an Aboriginal and Islander Education Worker four days per week.

We maintain a range of programmes to cater for the needs of individuals students. Such programmes are Talented and Gifted, Primary Extension and Challenge, Instrumental Music, Commonwealth Literacy and Numeracy, Indigenous Tutorial Assistence Scheme, Italian, Physical Education, Science, Music and Library. ...read more
