Steeped in history, Busselton Primary School was first established in the 1850s and continues to value the community as its most important asset. We work hard to ensure a safe and positive learning environment that optimises each Kindergarten to Year 6 student's potential to learn. Within a stimulating environment, students are supported by committed, flexible staff who share a common philosophy. Our school recognises the importance of community involvement and endeavours to foster and maintain partnerships with industry, business, and agencies, as well as the local community and parent groups.
Our school's motto of 'Always Our Best' focuses on students becoming independent, lifelong learners acquiring the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive with the changing world.
