Primary Education Years 1–6

Western Australian Government Schools

Mandatory primary school is from Pre-Primary to Year 6. Kindergarten is not mandatory. International students on a student visa (subclass 500) can only apply from Year 1. Students in primary school are inspired to learn, grow, and thrive. They are taught by experienced teachers who specialise in the learning and development of younger children. Our primary schools focus on developing essential literacy, numeracy and social skills, and provide foundational knowledge to children about the world around them.
