Chapman Valley Primary School is a welcoming small country school located in Nabawa, approximately 39 kilometres north-east of Geraldton. Every student is known, valued and supported within our Kindergarten to Year 6 setting.

Our students learn across two multi-age classes: Kindergarten to Year 2 and Years 3 to 6. This structure allows teachers to respond closely to individual learning needs while building strong relationships with students and families.

Our small-school environment enables us to provide responsive and individualised learning within a safe, inclusive and engaging setting. Students are supported and challenged to achieve their best.

The Berry Street Education Model supports student wellbeing, engagement and readiness to learn, while our Two-Way Science program strengthens cultural responsiveness and connection to Country.

As part of the CHUNABI small-schools network, we work closely with Binnu and Yuna Primary Schools to provide broader learning and social opportunities for students, as well as collaboration and professional learning for staff.
