Ardross Primary School

What Ardross Primary School does

Ardross Primary School is a Western Australian government public primary school located at 46 Links Road in the suburb of Ardross, operating under the Western Australian Department of Education. The school delivers the Western Australian Curriculum from Kindergarten through Year 6 using a Plan, Teach, Assess, Report framework aligned to year-level achievement standards. Its core educational offering comprises Early Years Education (Kindergarten and Pre-Primary) with play-based learning and explicit instruction in literacy and numeracy, a Years 3-6 program balancing explicit instruction with inquiry learning, an integrated STEM curriculum anchored by a school kitchen garden and chickens, and specialist areas covering Music (including Orff Schulwerk approach and Instrumental Music School Services for violin, cello, double bass and flute), Visual Arts, Japanese language instruction for Years 2-6, and Physical Education with swimming and interschool sport programs. The school does not charge tuition; revenue derives from state government allocations supplemented by a uniform shop and lunch ordering via Lunchbox Hub. Supporting student services include the MultiLit suite of evidence-based literacy interventions, a Positive Behaviour Support framework with explicit teaching of values represented by Noongar-named native plant characters, and the externally-funded River Rangers environmental enrichment program.

Technology infrastructure centres on a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Chromebook program piloted in 2025 with the Year 4 cohort and scheduled for full Years 4-6 implementation by 2027, delivered via Google Workspace for Education and Microsoft 365, with Senso Cloud providing real-time student device monitoring, screen lock, web filtering, and content blurring capabilities. Solutions IT serves as the technical implementation partner, providing Chrome Education Perpetual Licenses and device management on the Department of Education network. Parent communication is coordinated through the Compass Education learning management platform, weekly newsletters, the P&C Association portal (uniform shop, lunch orders, events, volunteer coordination), and class WhatsApp groups. The school acknowledges the Whadjuk people of the Noongar Nation as traditional custodians of the surrounding land and embeds cultural recognition across its curriculum and behavioural framework.
