Burrendah Primary School (PS), in Willetton, caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our school reflects our aspiration to see our students achieve to the best of their ability, by providing a supportive learning environment.

We celebrate cultural diversity, providing a comprehensive support program for students who are learning Standard Australian English as over half of our student population speak English as a second language.

Our school is well respected within the local community. We share a close working relationship with Willetton Senior High School and Castlereagh School, with the three schools being within one precinct area.
