Como Primary School

What Como Primary School does

Como Primary School is a public government primary school operated by the Western Australian Department of Education, located at 206 Labouchere Rd, Como, Western Australia. Established in 1916, the school serves students from Kindergarten through Year 6 across a single campus, with enrolment primarily drawn from its geographically defined local intake area. The school delivers the Western Australian Curriculum and supports it with specialist programs in Music (including choirs, recorder instruction, and a Concert Band launched in 2026), French (Years 3-6), Visual Arts, and Physical Education, alongside enrichment programs such as LEAP for gifted and talented students and a 1:1 iPad BYOD program for Years 4-6.

The school operates a distinctive Virtues & Values program covering 19 character virtues and a Buddy Time program pairing students across year levels that has run for over 25 years. Supporting services include OSHClub-operated Outside School Hours Care, a P&C-operated canteen called The Como Cookout (with online ordering via Spriggy Schools), and a uniform shop serviced through Uniforms West. The school is governed by a School Board comprising the Principal, parent, community, and staff representatives, supported by an active Parents and Citizens (P&C) Association. Como Primary School complies with the National Quality Standard as a reflective framework for Kindergarten to Year 2 programs, with external Department of Education reviews completed in 2023 and a Public School Review completed in Term 3, 2026.

The school's revenue model is fundamentally that of a state-funded public institution: operating funds flow from the Western Australian Department of Education, supplemented by annual parent contributions and charges set by the School Board, and ancillary revenue to the P&C from canteen operations, uniform commissions (via Vaucluse Newsagency), and fundraising. The school is not a commercially revenue-generating entity and is not a candidate for PE/VC/M&A investment.
