Wilson Primary School, established in 1963, caters for children aged from 5-12 years. Our average annual enrolment is around 250. The school is located near the Canning River, approximately 10km from the Perth CBD. Our student population is culturally diverse with our children coming from 23 different countries and cultural groups. In 2009, forty percent of our children came from a Non English Speaking Background (NESB). Support is also provided for eligible English as a Second Language (ESL) students. Our academic programme focuses strongly on the development of outcomes in Literacy and Numeracy. Writing has been a particular focus for the past three years. Wilson has an active environmental education programme centred on our school garden, worm farm and recycling centre. We are also members of programmes such as Waste Wise and Ribbons of Blue and each year are invited to participate in restoration work with the Wilson Wetlands Action Group Our high profile, values driven pastoral care programme, is supported by our federally funded School Chaplain. Explicit Behaviour Management and Anti Bullying and Harassment Policies ensure the physical and emotional well being of our children.
