Dynamic schooling. Innovative students. Nurturing community.
At Kelmscott Primary School, we are deeply proud of our rich history, our beautiful location, and our strong connection to the local community. We can't wait to welcome your family into our thriving KPS family.
Established in 1882, Kelmscott Primary School is one of Perth's oldest schools, and has remained a central part of the Kelmscott community for generations. Many of our students are now the children and grandchildren of former KPS students, creating a strong sense of belonging, pride, and tradition which continues to guide our school values of Respect, Safety, Responsibility, and Pride.
Today, Kelmscott Primary School is a vibrant, future-focused learning community where students are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision of dynamic schooling is underpinned by our commitment to high expectations, explicit teaching, evidence-based practice, and a whole-school culture of continual improvement. We work in partnership with families to nurture confident, caring and capable young people who are ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our teaching staff are experienced, passionate and dedicated, delivering highly effective, structured teaching supported by evidence-based frameworks such as Teaching for Impact and Explicit Instruction. Every student's progress is carefully monitored through data-informed practice, and programs are differentiated to meet individual needs. Intervention and support are provided through targeted small group instruction, evidence-based literacy and numeracy programs, and strong partnerships with allied health providers offering speech, occupational therapy and additional supports where needed.
Our students access a range of specialist programs led by highly skilled staff, including Music, Visual Arts, and Physical Education. Our music program provides opportunities for students to participate in instrumental music, string programs, and our choir, who proudly perform at the Massed Choir Festival at the Perth Concert Hall each year. Our facilities include dedicated Music and Art learning spaces, as well as extensive playgrounds and nature play areas that promote active, safe play for all children.
Our school culture is built on the foundation of strong relationships between staff, students, families and the broader community. We work closely with our active School Board and P&C Association, the City of Armadale, Westfield Park CPC, Playgroup WA, Fremantle Speech Pathology, Down South Therapy, Kids & Kids, TheirCare, and a range of community agencies to support our students and their families. We also offer family events such as Awesome Evening, Mother's and Father's Day breakfasts, Open Classrooms and community forums, creating a true sense of belonging where every family feels part of the Kelmscott story.
