Allendale Primary School (APS) is located in central Geraldton, a coastal town 420 kms North of Perth in Western Australia. It's a Level 5 Independent Public School for Kindergarten to Year 6 with an enrolment of 349 students in 2024. Our families live primarily in Wonthella and its surrounding suburbs. APS is part of the Geraldton Network of schools.
APS is committed to delivering a blend of explicit and direct instruction in the core curriculum areas of English and Maths. All teaching and learning is organised using a connected curriculum approach, providing myriad of opportunities for students to link learning across subjects and commit knowledge to long term memory.
APS is a member of The Knowledge Project, a small group of schools from WA that support each other to develop and deliver integrated, knowledge rich units of learning centered on high quality texts or major historic events.
APS staff consist of skilled graduates and experienced educators who are focused on delivering evidence based approaches, through the use of high impact instructional strategies. Lowering the variance between classrooms using whole school approaches to curriculum delivery is a priority.
The engagement of an instructional coach (0.6 FTE) highlights APS's commitment to quality teaching, aligning with the Department of Education Western Australia's belief that effective educators have a responsibility to evaluate their impact and seek to improve.
Team members support each other and embraced the 2024 mantra of Think small, and never miss twice, which highlights the exponential impact regular, small improvements can make to performance over time.
Respect, Courtesy, Responsibility and Honesty underpin APS culture and reflect our overall beliefs as a Positive Behaviour Support school. The Executive Team have high expectations for staff and students, contesting strongly that every student can achieve academic and social success, every single day.
