Welcome to Pickering Brook Primary School – a unique school, nestled in the Perth hills, with community at its heart.

Our school puts student needs’ first; with evidence-based teaching practices, purposeful play, and staff who really know their students; how they learn; and what they need to learn next. Our multi-age-grouped approach sees students learn from each other, lead each other, and have opportunities to develop more-sophisticated social skills than students in same-age settings.

Pickering Brook Primary School is in its final phase of its current Business Plan (2021-24). This phase sees us reviewing achievement data, school policies and processes, with a focus on positive and strengths-based approaches. We offer a comprehensive pastoral care approach with a school chaplain, a student services team and an active Student Leadership Team. Students are treated as individuals, and families are supported when needed – we don’t have a ‘one-size fits all’ approach.

Our environment is like no other Perth school – we don’t have to create nature play – we live amongst nature! Students have access to two high-quality natural areas that encourage child-exploration, nature-based play, alongside built-playgrounds and great sporting amenities. 

​Pickering Brook Primary School work closely with parents and the local community, including the City of Kalamunda, network schools and other community groups to ensure wrap-around services and an approach that suits the wider community. We have playgroup on-site once a week, and a school bus route (through School Bus Services) that collects and drops-off students from the wider hills area. Our community and staff are generous with their time and offer a variety of opportunities to our students by running after school clubs. Our P&C are extremely active and take pride in the school, providing great support through funding, time and opportunities, and our School Board provide governance and advice.
