Forrestfield Primary School is located 15 kilometres south east of Perth and serves a diverse community. Our school caters for approximately 200 students, Kindergarten to Year 7 and has a strong focus on literacy, numeracy and pastoral care. Teachers at Forrestfield Primary School strive to improve learning outcomes for all students. Our focus is on supporting students with special learning needs in small group programs. Early intervention for children in Years 1 to 3 continues to be a priority as well as supporting students in the middle and upper years in our education support class. Academic extension classes are also offered in writing and art with our school being recognised in Australia wide and State competitions. In 2010 we commenced building our community garden. This thriving learning area now encompasses vegetable beds, chickens and worm farms, an orchard and wetland. Specialist teaching programs include Music, Art and Italian. Our school community is developing a strong ethos of valuing, supporting and celebrating difference. We strive to ensure that all children are actively engaged in a safe and nurturing learning environment. Our school has a Breakfast Club and places high importance on wearing the school uniform. Our positive behaviour focus of 'Treat Everyone Decently by being Respectful, Responsible and Safe,' drives our whole school behaviour program. TED, our large bear mascot is a regular visitor at Parent Assemblies and presents student awards. Our school community also celebrates his birthday each year. Forrestfield Primary School is fully air conditioned and has spacious play and sporting facilities. A recent $2 million Federal Government building upgrade has provided our school community with a covered assembly area, canteen and music multi- purpose teaching block. We have a well resourced library, art facilities and fully networked computer laboratory. Interactive whiteboards are being installed across the school. Parents are actively involved in our school with the P&C Association..
