WEMBLEY DOWNS PRIMARY SCHOOL

Wembley Downs Primary School is an Independent Public School within the Churchlands Network of Government Schools. Our school is characterised by a feeling of community support and involvement with many parents being actively involved in school activities and the education of their children.

Our grounds are characterised by the number of large trees providing both shade and a basis for imaginative play. The original 1950s buildings provide an enclosed, secure feeling whilst our newer facilities, including a multi-purpose undercover assembly area, Early Childhood Centres and Library assist in the delivery of modern education programs.

A school-wide Wi-Fi network allows students to pursue independent learning activities, utilising the laptop computers and iPads available in all classrooms. Our Library complements the Information and Learning Technology program and our purpose built Science/Art and Music rooms provide students with the facilities to enhance great educational outcomes.

Enrolment currently stands at approximately 380 (K-6) with the majority of students coming from within our boundary. The school has a blend of teachers with varied experience and diverse expertise. We currently have specialist teaching in the areas of; music, library/technology, Science and Japanese as our Language other than English. An instrumental music, program facilitated by the School of Instrumental Music staff, includes options for Years 3 - 6 for strings, brass and piano. Students participate in, and perform publicly, within a school ensemble.

There is a very active Parents and Citizens' Association developing social networks and with sub-committees managing such operations as the uniform shop, canteen and Safety House. A School Board oversees our planning processes and enables community members to have meaningful input into programs and direction.

Classroom assessments, combined with data gathered from State and National testing programs, indicate that standards in the school are high and show evidence of significant value adding. Students at Educational Risk (SAER) are catered for across the school year levels through both remedial and academic extension programs under the supervision of our Learning Support Coordinator. Student Councillors and House Captains help students gain valuable leadership skills and act as the advocates for the student body.

On-site before and after school child care facilities, provided through Mulberry Tree, enable the children of working parents to have a seamless transition from 'care to classroom'. The service is also available during school holidays ensuring children stay within a familiar and secure environment.
