Bassendean Primary School is located at 70 West Road, Bassendean. The School first opened as West Guildford Primary School in October 1906. In 1922 the West Guildford area was renamed Bassendean, as was the school.
While acknowledging our school’s rich history dating back to 1906, we are foremost a contemporary school engaged in best practice teaching methodology. Many of the families who attend our school are multigenerational and have strong links to the community.
Our by-line Loyalty and Service is historical in its context. As a school the interpretation of this is embedded in the work we do through our connections with community. As a school we are committed to each other as our values embody kindness and respect. We believe it is important to engage with the community through student volunteer and leadership opportunities and a variety of educational programs with links to the community.
Bassendean Primary School proudly became an Independent Public School in 2019.
Bassendean Primary School implements the identified values, focus outcomes and strategic directions of the Department of Education. We aspire to be a school of excellence where students strive to achieve and be successful. We aim to develop students who are confident and positive in developing meaningful relationships and have an understanding that each individual is different. As educators in partnership with parents, our greatest aspiration is that our students will grow up to be adults who contribute positively to their world.
Our teaching methods and standards are in line with the Western Australian Curriculum. We are reflective of our practices and future focussed on improvement. Our students are provided with support and opportunities to become self and socially aware.
