Bunbury Primary School opened in May 1895 and moved to its present site in 1962. It has 12 primary classrooms, 2 pre-primary rooms and a kindergarten classroom. Once the current building programme ends in 2012, the school will also boast a new library, covered assembly area, specialist music and art rooms, a student kitchen and a multi-purpose room. Through a joint school/P&C project, all classrooms are air-conditioned. Located 2 hours south of Perth, our school is situated in the 'Tree Street Area'. We have extensive, attractive and leafy grounds, surrounded by many distinctive early 20th Century homes, many of which have been restored to their original style. The school is only a two minute drive from the Bunbury CBD. We are a local intake school bounded by Ocean Drive (West), Beach Rd (South) and Blair St (East). Primary aged children living in the intake area are guaranteed a placement in the school. However, if vacancies exist and a suitable educational programme can be offered, children from outside the area can apply to enrol. Currently, over half the children attending our children live outside of our intake area; making Bunbury Primary school a School of Choice. Our vision is to educate children to become independent life long learners who respect themselves and others, develop a sense of equity, participate in their communities and understand the need to maintain sustainable systems. To achieve our Vision we set ourselves some clear goals. We want to enable each child to: a) Attain their highest academic achievement possible; b) Practise environmental awareness; c) Develop social skills and a positive and caring attitude toward others; d) Establish a high level of communication skills; e) Develop a positive self-concept; f) Develop as an independent learner; and, g) Establish an understanding of technology in a changing world. The school competes in a regional Eisteddfod, whilst also supporting individual children's nominations, and participates in the annual Combined Schools' Music Festival. Children..
