School Officer

Description:

Koondoola Primary School (PS) is located approximately 17 kilometres from the Perth CBD in the City of Wanneroo and has an enrolment of 265 students. Our school is one of the most unique educational environments in Western Australia. It brings together children from a wide range of backgrounds, languages, and cultures. Add to this the on-site Intensive English Centre (IEC) and our close relationship with Burbridge School for children with Special Needs and it becomes clear that celebrating inclusivity is a way of life for the Koondoola school community. Over 70% of our students come from a language background other than English making Koondoola one of the most culturally diverse schools in the state, with interpreters and dedicated teachers.
