St Andrew's Catholic Primary School

What St Andrew's Catholic Primary School does

St Andrew's Catholic Primary School is a co-educational parish primary school located at 60 Victorsen Parade, Clarkson, Western Australia, established in 1996 by the Archdiocese of Perth and operated under the Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia (CEWA). The school serves approximately 400 students from Pre-Kindergarten (including a Playgroup for ages 1-3) through to Year 6, with specialist tuition in Indonesian, Physical Education, Library, Music, ICT/Robotics, and STREAM, alongside instrumental music, interschool sport, performing arts, and outreach programmes such as Young Vinnies. The school's identity is anchored in Christ-centred education, the motto 'Companions on the Journey', and close integration with St Andrew's Parish, Clarkson, which delivers parish-based Sacramental Programmes for Reconciliation, Eucharist, and Confirmation.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition and school fees, with a published Annual Fee Schedule and Health Care Card concession schedule. Ancillary recurring revenue comes from OSHClub before- and after-school care (operating on-site 6:45am-8:40am and 2:30pm-6:00pm with online bookings at oshclub.com.au) and canteen lunch ordering fulfilled by Locavora from its West Perth kitchen via an online ordering platform. Uniforms are supplied through Perm-A-Pleat's online store, Butler retail outlet, and an on-site second-hand uniform shop. Distribution is direct to families in the Clarkson catchment, with no multi-site or interstate footprint.

Technology adoption is centred on third-party platforms: SEQTA Engage serves as the learning management and parent communication system (reporting, absentee notifications, parent-teacher messaging), while Locavora and Perm-A-Pleat provide e-commerce infrastructure for canteen and uniform respectively. The school does not operate proprietary technology products, an app, a public API, or any disclosed AI/ML capability. Governance sits with a Principal, a School Advisory Council that includes ex-officio Parish Priest representation, and an active Parents and Friends Association affiliated with PFFWA and the Australian Parents Council. A Principal's Farewell Assembly is scheduled for 30 June 2026, indicating a forthcoming leadership transition.
