Geraldton Primary School is Western Australia’s oldest continuously operating government primary school, founded in 1878. Situated near the town center, the school offers a vibrant and successful educational experience for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. With a perfect balance of a ‘small school’ community feel and a large enough student population to provide diverse educational opportunities, Geraldton Primary School prides itself on its supportive parent community and quality staff, including specialist teachers in music, physical education, and Indonesian language.
At Geraldton Primary School, the motto of Generosity, Perseverance, and Service guides the school’s ethos and values. The school community is dedicated to fostering individual growth and potential in a caring and supportive environment. Through the acronym REACH (Responsible and Respectful, Encouraging, Achievers, Caring and Helpful), students are encouraged to embody these values in their daily interactions. The school’s reputation as a preferred choice for both students and teaching positions reflects its commitment to excellence in education.
As a local area intake school, Geraldton Primary School ensures that primary-aged children within its intake area are guaranteed placement, while those outside the area may apply for enrollment based on availability. The school’s heritage as a significant educational institution in Western Australia, combined with its focus on community involvement and academic achievement, makes it a cornerstone of the educational landscape in the region.
