Craigie Heights Primary School (5816)

School Overview

Our Vision

At Craigie Heights Primary School, our vision is to 'create a respectful community where every student is engaged, feels a sense of belonging, and excels through resilience and achievement.'

About Us

Located at 47 Spinaway Street, Craigie Heights Primary School proudly serves students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our school is home to a dedicated and skilled team of educators and support staff who deliver innovative and engaging programs in a caring, student-focused environment. Our motto, 'Every student matters. Every moment counts,' reflects our commitment to each child's personal and academic growth.

Established in 2008 through the successful amalgamation of Craigie Primary School and Camberwarra Primary School, Craigie Heights was built on a foundation of community spirit and collaboration. This unique beginning has shaped a school culture where parents are valued partners in education and play an active role in school life. In 2013, we proudly became an Independent Public School.

Learning Environment

Our students benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, including specialist learning areas for Music, Art, Physical Education, Science, and AUSLAN (Australian Sign Language). Every classroom is equipped with interactive whiteboards to support dynamic teaching and digital learning. A wide array of technologies is integrated across the curriculum, preparing students to become confident, capable digital citizens. Our air-conditioned buildings are designed with sustainability principles in mind.

Early Childhood Education

We place a strong emphasis on Early Childhood education, using best-practice strategies to support early intervention. Kindergarten and Pre-Primary students are screened by a Speech Pathologist from the North Metro Language Development Centre and undergo hearing checks through UWA Audiology. Our balanced approach combines explicit instruction in phonics, phonemic awareness, and foundational math skills with rich opportunities for play-based learning in literacy and numeracy.

Teaching and Learning

Craigie Heights maintains high expectations in literacy and numeracy, supported by an explicit teaching model. This approach includes daily reviews and a gradual release of responsibility framework, ensuring students receive the structure and support they need to thrive. Student progress is closely monitored using effective data-driven strategies, with individual learning needs carefully case managed.

Enrichment Opportunities

Our enrichment programs are diverse and inclusive, offering opportunities such as In-Term Swimming, the School of Instrumental Music, Choir, Dungeons & Dragons Club, Library Monitor Program, Student Leadership Teams, Running Club, and inter-school sports competitions.

Wellbeing and Values

We are committed to building strong relationships and promoting social-emotional wellbeing across our school community. Our Positive Behaviour Support Program teaches and reinforces our four core behavioural expectations: Be Safe, Be an Achiever, Be Responsible, and Be Respectful. These values are deeply embedded in our school culture through the Craigie Heights Code.

Our Philanthropy and Pastoral Care initiatives further enrich our community, fostering empathy, kindness, and ethical citizenship in every student.
