Geraldton Primary School was established in 1878 and is Western Australia's oldest continuously operating primary school. The original building is registered as a heritage building. The school is located close to the central business district and is in close proximity to Geraldton Senior College, Nagle College and the regional hospital. With 430 students, the school is nearing its capacity. The school attracts students from neighbouring suburbs due to its favourable location and excellent reputation. Over 65% of the school's enrolment is from outside the school's local intake area. The school prides itself on providing a caring environment and a personal approach to families. Many of the staff have considerable teaching experience at the school. The school enjoys strong support from parents and there is a high level of student and community pride in the school. The students display a high standard of behaviour and the school has achieved sound results in the national assessment program. The school's administration building was completed in 2008 and the construction of new pre-primary classrooms and a multi purpose art/music centre is expected to be completed in 2010.
