Welcome to Jerdacuttup Primary School, we are a delightful school with a small but stable student population located between Hopetoun, Esperance and Ravensthorpe. We are set in a large, picturesque bush setting which allows students space to breathe and grow.
The benefit of being a small school is that students receive individual tuition throughout the day. When they need it. Students are well known to staff, and every need is catered for. This allows the school to develop plans that optimises every child's chance to become a successful student. All students get along extremely well and there are no behavioural concerns.
The school has an experienced, happy and professional staff which consists of a principal, two teachers, two teacher assistants, gardener/handyman, cleaner, manager of corporate services, wellness officer and a library officer. We offer specialist teaching in sport, the arts and indigenous language. Students have their own bikes, iPads and access to a trampoline.
Our students get numerous opportunities every term to mix with other schools in the local area. We participate in sporting activities, assemblies, incursions and excursions which allows all students to socialise on a regular basis. Travel to these events is by our own school bus, which also brings students into school from the surrounding areas.
The school has a wonderful history. In 1964 local parents built a stone school where 8 children did lessons by correspondence. Later that year the Education Department appointed a teacher. The school then boasted 10 students. When the school moved the old stone school was moved from its original location and is now an inspiring wellness centre within current school grounds.
Community involvement at Jerdacuttup Primary School is high. We have a committed P & C; a visible School Council and we have strong links with the shire. Parents are involved in all aspects of their child's education journey with us and are welcomed into the school on a regular basis.
Children feel safe in their learning environment here. Our purpose is to ensure all students reach their individual potential by providing a safe and stimulating learning environment that develops their knowledge, skills and confidence.
