Kingston Primary School (5810)

School Overview

We are an Independent Public-School catering to approximately 600 Kindergarten to Year 6 students. Our school is situated 180 km south of Perth in Australind.

At Kingston Primary School, we celebrate diversity and commit to creating a learning environment that fosters care, respect, courage and excellence.

With a focus on numeracy and literacy the teaching staff bring enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism to the whole-school approaches that are embedded in the school and form an exemplary team who work to a common vision. Our vision is to be an innovative exemplar of professional education practice and learning for teachers, and to create optimum developmental opportunities for our students.

The school offers unique programs for all students in Music, Science, Visual Arts, Japanese and Physical Education. An Academic Enrichment Program is also offered to students in Years 5/6.

Part of our commitment to cultural diversity is our Sister School relationship with Takenodai Elementary School in Kobe, Japan. Not only do we teach Japanese language in our school, the two schools engage in a cultural exchange in alternate years. In 2015, 2017 and 2019 students travelled to Takenodai and were hosted in Japanese homes. Kingston hosted 10 students from Takenodai in 2024. This is also reflected in our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)

Kingston PS is committed to student and staff wellbeing prioritising a Student Support Team with a School Psychologist, School Social Worker and Student Support Officers. All students from PP - 6 participate in The Resilience Project's (TRP) school program.

Before and after school care OSHClub, as well as vacation care, and are located on the school site. We also have a child health clinic and playgroup. An Allied Health Services team has been operating from the school since 2018 in an innovative and unique partnership with WA Country Health Services.

There is strong community support for the school, where parents and the local community actively assist in school activities. Our school has developed a strong, positive reputation and culture validated through external review and annual staff, student and community satisfaction surveys. This information, as well as comprehensive performance and effectiveness data, is analysed by a dynamic school board made up of parents, staff and industry representatives.

Kingston PS was awarded the Western Australian Primary Principal's Association (WAPPA) Award for Leading Schools - Wellbeing, Culture & Community in 2024. Kingston PS was one of 4 schools recognised as finalists in the WA Education Awards for Excellence in Wellbeing and Learning in 2024.

We respectfully acknowledge the Pindjarup people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of the land on which we meet, learn, and play on. We pay our respects to Elders past and present and acknowledge that they have cared for this Land, continuing their connection to the land and waters of Pindjarup Boodja as part of the oldest, continuing culture in the world.

We would like to extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people here today.
