We are located at Eton Farm, 145 Summerfield Rd in Serpentine. The school site is situated on a portion of the farm; however, the whole 160 acres is available for the school to use.

Eton Farm is a working farm with Beef Cattle and Horse Agistment.

We started the school in 2020 with 3 Primary and 12 part time students. Covid-19 was a shock to us all however didn’t have a large effect on our enrolments. We found that families were looking for more space for their children.

At the end of 2020 we increased to 5 full time and 27 part time students.
2021 has started with a consolidation of students with 8 Primary and 27 part time students.

2022 started with an increase of numbers in all classes and the addition of  Year 4’s.    2023 is looking positive with classes filling up quickly and the with the addition of Year 5’s and in 2024 the addition of Year 6’s.     Our building plans for 2024 will include two new primary classrooms and hopefully, a purpose built Art and Music Room.

In 2023 we offer classes :

Pre-Kindy: 1 1/2 days per week

Kindy:  2 days for first term and 3 days for terms 2,3 & 4.
Pre-Primary to Year 5 are compulsory schooling and is full time.

In addition, we also offer Art & Music classes for Under 3’s and 2 year old’s ( Tutus’) each term.

In 2024, we will add Year 6.

In 2023 we have mixed age groups in our primary years.  We always consider the needs of the students first and determine what class group they should be a part of for the very best outcome for their learning needs.

Students do not wear a uniform.

Primary students start the day with Music and also have other classes during the week.
Pre-Kindy and Kindy students have two sessions of Music and Art each week.

All students have Art classes with our Art teacher Trish in a designated indoor/outdoor space named after the Noongar word for Magpie – ‘Coolbardi’.

Play is an important part of our day. Structured and unstructured! Primary students get a ‘brain break’ outside when they full of knowledge and need a breath of fresh air!

On the farm there is a mud patch (in the Winter) which is yearned for, during the summer months.

We teach Noongar as a language.

Our class sizes for the Primary students will never exceed 20 and we will always consider the cohort and the needs of the students. Class sizes will be determined by this consideration.

We don’t punish or degrade any child. Our behaviour management is based on the needs of the students at the moment.

We encourage the students to make the right choices, take responsibility for their own actions and for them to understand that there is a right and wrong with consequences for all actions.

We want our students to be resilient and take calculated risks.

Classes for Pre-Kindy are 10, Kindy 12 and Pre-Primary 15 as a maximum.

There is no homework. If we don’t cover it during the day it can be picked up at another time.

Excursions are an important part of our program. We plan at least one major excursion every term, however, there are usually more including incursions too!

We have a School Bus so we can take the children on regular excursions or outings to maximise the opportunities available in our location of Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale .
