About our School:
Glen Huon Primary is located 170 km south of Perth in the suburb of Eaton.
The school opened in 2000 as a K-6 primary school and has been selected to become an Independent Public School (IPS) in 2015. This gives us increased autonomy in the administration of the school and ability to merit select staff that complement Glen Huon's priorities and context.
Our Mission:
At Glen Huon Primary School our mission is to work in partnership with our community to provide a nurturing environment that allows our children to become resilient, confident, lifelong learners through a rich, sustainable and inclusive curriculum. We aim to achieve this though three key focus areas with explicit, evidence based whole school approaches in Literacy and Numeracy while Positive Behaviour is supported with the principles of Positive Schools and Classroom Engagement.
