Bullsbrook, once a semirural town 20 minutes north of the Swan Valley, is a popular destination for new home buyers because of the expansion of urban areas up through the north east corridor. Our crest and banner links back to the beginning of our school in the 1950s in what was the small town of Bullsbrook. Our mantra, 'Side by side, beneath the Southern Cross, we strive and achieve' is informed by that crest and banner.
