Tuart Hill Primary School was opened in 1910 in the suburb of Tuart Hill approximately 5 kilometres north west of the Perth CBD. Approximately 46% of our students come from a language background other than English with over 40 different languages being spoken. The main school buildings were constructed in the late 1940's. Newer buildings include a purpose built Kindergarten/Pre-primary, enclosed assembly area and library. The school also has a purpose built art and music room which was provided through the Australian Government's Building the Education Revolution economic stimulus plan. The school has three large play areas including grassed areas and playground equipment. A dental clinic is located on the school grounds and a Community Kindergarten which is linked to the school is located approximately 800 metres off site. Tuart Hill Primary School has a strong environmental focus with students engaged in a range of programs including Solarwise, Wastewise, Waterwise, worm farming and vegetable/herb gardening. The school is also a part of the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden Program. Specialist programs provided to students include LOTE (Indonesian), Physical Education and Visual Arts as well as support being provided for environmental programs and ICT. The School has commenced placing interactive whiteboards in each classroom and renewing its existing ICT resources. We also provide a choir program for interested students. The school's motto is 'Growth in Knowledge'.
