Welcome to Wilson Primary School
The school is set in very attractive surroundings with many trees, shade and extremely well maintained gardens. There is a grounds and buildings improvement plan which has enabled continuing development and enhancement over the last number of years. This has been complemented by the shaded area extensions, funded by a federal grant and subsidised by the School Building Fund and P&C, and a maintenance upgrade during the last couple of years.
Wilson has an excellent reputation in the local and wider community and is also sought after by international migrants. The multi-cultural flavour of the student body adds to the richness and diversity of the clientele, a valued and celebrated feature of the school. The international flavour is further influenced by our sister school relationships with schools in Indonesia.
Sustainability is a key focus of the school and staff and students make good use of our newly established environmental studies learning area that includes facilities for recycling, composting and maintaining flower beds and frog ponds.
Wilson has a values focus and links activities to the 5 key values of the Australian Curriculum. One vehicle used to include students directly in values education is the Family Virtues Program. Key virtues such as respect, courtesy, self-discipline are discussed with students in class and these are reinforced at assemblies, through the newsletter and through student awards. There is a strong pastoral ethos with the more senior classes having buddies in the junior classes and a charitable and tolerant approach evident throughout the student body.
The students at Wilson Primary School wear their school uniform with pride as it represents the caring school community, the sporting, musical and academic achievement throughout the student body.
This is a school with proud traditions, with an eye to the future and our place in the West Australian community and in the global community.
