Alkimos Primary School Calendar 2026-2027 — Western Australia

Alkimos Primary School is a government-funded, co-educational primary school located at 340 Benenden Avenue, Alkimos, Western Australia 6038, in the northern corridor of the Perth metropolitan area.

The school caters for students from Kindergarten through Year 6 and is recognised as an independent local intake school — meaning enrolment priority is given to families living within the school’s defined catchment area.

The school is led by Principal Alan Kelly, who warmly welcomes prospective families and describes Alkimos Primary as a place where every child has the potential to shine and achieve their personal best. The school’s values — Resilience, Care, and High Expectations — guide daily school life, with staff committed to nurturing and developing each child academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

The school’s vision is that every student becomes a compassionate, capable, and confident lifelong learner — grounded in a strong partnership between families, staff, and the wider Alkimos community.

A Modern, Well-Resourced Campus

Alkimos Primary’s campus features modern, purpose-built facilities designed to support contemporary learning, including:

• Five teaching blocks accommodating all year groups.
• Automated library supporting student research and reading.
• Assembly area for community gatherings.
• Traditional and nature-based playgrounds provide diverse play environments.
• Sensory bike track — a distinctive facility supporting physical development and inclusion.
• Loose parts hub — a creative, open-ended play space encouraging imagination and problem-solving.
• SZapp — the school’s digital communication platform keeping families informed of events, newsletters, and absences.

Specialist Programmes

A highlight of Alkimos Primary School is its range of specialist programmes offered to all students, providing enriched learning beyond the standard classroom:

• Music — structured musical education across all year levels
• Noongar Language — learning the language of the Whadjuk Noongar people, the traditional custodians of the Perth metropolitan area
• Science — dedicated science specialist programme
• Physical Education — structured PE with specialist staff, including participation in interschool carnivals

The Alkimos Learning Community

The school’s educational approach is built around three interconnected pillars:

1. Students as Learners — student-centred learning that nurtures curiosity, confidence, and a love of discovery
2. Teachers as Learners — a staff culture of continuous professional growth and collaboration
3. Parents as Learners — families as active, valued partners in children’s education

This framework underpins everything from daily classroom practice to community events and family engagement throughout the school year.
