Samson PS was officially opened in May 1987. It is located south of the Swan River at the eastern end of the Fremantle area. Adjacent to the Samson Recreation Centre, the school is an aesthetically inviting set of buildings, situated in beautifully kept grounds which feature grass trees, eucalypts, rose gardens and extensive grassed areas.
The teaching/learning program is effectively maintained by an experienced, capable staff, most of whom have attained 'Senior Teacher' status. The social and emotional development of students is given high priority through the teaching of virtues (values). Technology is used extensively as a tool to support the teaching/learning program with Interactive Whiteboards in all primary classes. The school is fully networked with 16 desk top computers housed in the library, with four desk top computers in each of the 11 classrooms.
Samson Primary has developed an excellent pastoral care program with virtues, rights and responsibilities underpin all that happens and as a result our behaviour management issues are rarely serious.
