Gidgegannup Primary School opened in 1992 and is located within the Swan Shire. The school is in a very tranquil setting, being on the outskirts of town and backing onto a rural aspect. The classroom clusters are built on the contours of a hill using this elevation to advantage. An attractive garden has been developed and it would be difficult to find a more idyllic position. The catchment area is rather widespread necessitating approximately 85% of the students to travel to school by bus. The Staff is committed, caring and experienced with little movement from year to year. There are specialist teachers in the areas of Physical Education, Music, LOTE and Library providing the varied and enriching programs being offered to all students. Parent involvement is welcomed and encouraged. Participative decision-making is possible through involvement in the School Council and P & C Association. The School Council is actively involved with the school planning and review processes. Gidgegannup PS aims to enable all children to have the opportunity to acquire the skills necessary to realise their full potential in life; socially, intellectually, emotionally and physically.
