Principal's Message
Welcome back to a new school year. I am thrilled to reconnect with our students, parents, and staff as we embark on another exciting journey of learning and discovery. Our dedicated team has been working diligently to prepare for the upcoming academic year, ensuring a positive and enriching experience for our students.
We are thrilled to announce we are officially entering the 125th year of our wonderful school. To commemorate this remarkable journey, we invite all our students, alumni, families, and friends to join us at our special Anniversary Fair on Saturday 16 March. This promises to be a day filled with fun, nostalgia, and a celebration of the rich history that has shaped our school into what it is today. We encourage you to mark this special occasion on your calendar and spread the word among friends and family. Let's come together to celebrate 125 years and create more great memories in the history of North Perth Primary School.
I look forward to a fantastic school year filled with achievements, growth, and memorable moments. Here's to a year of learning, collaboration, and success.

These sessions aim to provide parents with comprehensive school-wide information, along with specific details related to your child's classroom. Teachers will communicate dates and times with you.
