We are seeking to establish a pool of School Officers for permanent and fixed term, full-time and part-time vacancies which may arise during the 2027 school year. Appointments may be offered at any time for vacancies that commence during this period.

North Parmelia Primary School's vision is 'Together, we will be daring and robust learners.' This vision shapes the operation of the school. North Parmelia Primary School is situated in, and is well supported by, the City of Kwinana. This interaction occurs through programs such as the LYRIK Awards and participation in local land care activities.

Our school follows the focus of the Classroom First Strategy which places the emphasis of learning on the interaction between the classroom teacher and the 300 students. There are many programs in place to support this interaction including Friendly Schools Plus, Sustainability Strategy, the concept of Good Standing, Crunch and Sip and a Learning Club. These programs are designed to support classroom teachers to engage the students and deliver a relevant and effective learning experience.

Find out more about our school by visiting North Parmelia Primary School  or Schools Online.
