Kelmscott Primary School recently celebrated its 125th anniversary. The school factions celebrate the pioneer families of the area; Ellis, Buckingham, Dale and Martin. History and community are essential components of school life. A wonderful mosaic mural on the resource centre depicts the strength of the visual arts programme and the history of the school. At Kelmscott a strong emphasis is placed on pastoral care and while the school provides a safe and supportive environment, we believe that the students have a responsibility to contribute to an environment which encourages learning, care and respect. The Chaplaincy Programme, Friendly Schools and Families and BUZ have all enhanced pastoral care in the school. Kelmscott Primary School has a music program that has received wide recognition. Students have the opportunity to learn a variety of instruments. Our School Choir performs at a variety of events, including the Massed Choir Festival at U.W.A. and the local Dale Fest. Our Environmental Science programme is very popular with Water Wise, worm farms and tree planting used to encourage students to value and care for the school environment, which borders the Canning River.
