Balga Primary School (5025)

School Overview


Balga Primary School is a vibrant and inclusive learning community located on the traditional lands of the Wadjak Noongar people. The school's motto of 'WE AIM HIGH' lives within each of our staff and students every day. As a connected community WE celebrate the achievements of our students and AIM to nurture them through providing excellence in education and setting HIGH standards of teaching and learning.

Since opening in 1965, Balga Primary School has been committed to providing high-quality education for students in our community. Today, we are proud to serve a diverse population of over 200 students from Kindergarten to Year 6, with over 30 nationalities represented as part of our school community.

Our teaching staff is highly skilled and experienced, and they work hard to ensure that every student receives instruction that meets their individual needs. Our high expectations and standards of teaching and learning have led to impressive student outcomes, with many of our students achieving above-average results in literacy and numeracy.

At Balga Primary School, we believe that education is about more than just academic success. We are committed to nurturing the whole child and helping them develop into confident, well-rounded individuals. To this end, we have established ongoing relationships with community organizations such as 12 Buckets and Wadjak Northside, which offer additional support and opportunities for our students.

Our positive approach to behaviour is another important aspect of life at Balga Primary School. We believe that every child has the right to feel safe, respected, and valued, and we work hard to create a supportive and inclusive environment that encourages positive relationships and behaviour. Our Positive Behaviour Support approach helps students develop a strong sense of self-awareness and self-regulation, through explicitly teaching focus behaviours that are important skills for success in both academic and personal life.

We are proud of the warm and welcoming atmosphere at Balga Primary School, and we work hard to ensure that every child feels valued and supported. Our school is a place where parents and caregivers are encouraged to be actively involved in their child's learning, and we believe that by working together, we can help every child achieve their full potential.

Balga Primary School is a dynamic and inclusive learning community that provides high-quality education and support for every child. We are committed to ensuring our parents and community feel welcome and part of the journey and we work hard to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to thrive and collectively WE AIM HIGH.
