East Wanneroo PS is 30km north of Perth on a well developed site with many large trees, gardens and playgrounds. Around the school a growing and developing community includes urban and semi-rural areas, with some rural areas currently being developed into housing blocks. Enrolments have remained steady at 450 this year as little development has gone ahead due to the current economic climate. East Wanneroo PS accomodates individual student's learning at their level of development. The school priorities for 2009 are: Reading, Writing (punctuation and grammar) and Numeracy. The school has a very strong behaviour management policy which has produced a very stable and safe environment for students. The P&C has devoted much of its fundraising activities in recent years on the purchase of additional play ground equipment, developing the grounds, airconditioning the school and supporting the Lexile Reading Programme for years 4-7 with the purchase of Lexile books for the library. Music is our specialist area with a Music Specialist, school band for Yr 6 & 7 students and Instrumental music in brass - flute, clarinet, trumpet Years 6 & 7. Strong staff-parent consultation is encouraged.
