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.

In 2025 we have 60 full time students from Pre-Primary to Yr 6.  Part time classes are Kindy & Pre-Kindy who have 12 in each class.

At our school, we prioritise quality over quantity. Our small class sizes—typically between 12 and 16 students—allow teachers to provide individual attention, adapt lessons to each child’s needs, and build strong, supportive relationships. This personalised approach fosters deeper engagement, stronger academic outcomes, and a more inclusive classroom environment.

Our building plans for 2025 will include two new primary classrooms. We have received at Captial Grant from the Federal Government to build two more classrooms ready for completion in 2026.

In 2025 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 6 are compulsory schooling and is full time.

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

Mixed-Age Learning: Year 1 to Year 6
At our school, students from Year 1 to Year 6 learn in mixed-age classes, creating a dynamic and inclusive environment where every child is both a learner and a leader.

This approach offers a number of benefits:

• Personalised learning – Students are taught at their point of need, not just by age, allowing them to progress at their own pace.

• Peer mentoring – Older students reinforce their learning by helping younger peers, while younger students gain confidence by learning from role models.

• Stronger relationships – Mixed-age groups foster cooperation, empathy, and a strong sense of community across year levels.

• Greater continuity – With fewer transitions between teachers and classmates, children feel secure, supported, and deeply connected to their learning environment.

This model helps students grow into confident, capable, and compassionate learners, ready to embrace challenges and support one another.

• Why Eton Farm Primary is Different

  At Eton Farm Primary School, we take a unique approach to education that reflects our values, our environment, and the needs of our students.

  • No Uniforms – Our students are free to dress comfortably, reflecting their individuality and readiness for active, hands-on learning.

  • Music Every Day – Primary students begin each day with Music and enjoy additional sessions throughout the week. All classes also have dedicated Music classes during the week.

  • Creative Arts in Nature – All students participate in Art classes with our specialist teacher Trish, in our indoor/outdoor art space named Koolbardi, the Noongar word for Magpie.

  • Play-Focused Learning – Play is a vital part of every day at Eton Farm. Both structured and unstructured play are encouraged. Primary students also enjoy outdoor ‘brain breaks’ to refresh and reset.

  • Farm Adventures – Our students love our mud patch in winter — it’s a favourite part of the farm that’s eagerly awaited during the dry months.

  • Learning Noongar – As part of our commitment to culture and community, all students learn Noongar, the language of the local Aboriginal people.

  • Small Class Sizes – We keep our class sizes intentionally small to support personalised learning:

    • Pre-Kindy: max 10 students

    • Kindy: max 12 students

    • Pre-Primary: max 15 students

    • Primary: never more than 20, always adjusted based on the cohort and individual needs

  • Respectful Behaviour Guidance – We never punish or shame students. Our approach to behaviour management is respectful, compassionate, and based on each child’s needs in the moment.

  • Encouraging Responsibility – Children are supported to make responsible choices, understand consequences, and build resilience by taking thoughtful risks.

  • No Homework Policy – We believe learning should happen during the school day. If something isn’t covered, it will be picked up at a later time.

  • Excursions & Incursions – We plan at least one major excursion per term — often more — as well as regular incursions. Learning beyond the classroom is a key part of our approach.

  • School Bus Access – Our dedicated school bus allows us to make the most of our location in the Shire of Serpentine-Jarrahdale, with frequent outings and excursions. We also have a morning and afternoon bus pick up and drop off service.

  • Community Engagement – We proudly participate in local events such as National Tree Day and the Food and Farm Fest.

  • Our Commitments –
    ✓ A National Child Safe Organisation
    ✓ A Sun Smart School
    ✓ A WasteSorted School

We believe that removing gender-based expectations allows children to explore their interests freely, build confidence, and form respectful, diverse relationships.

Our Teaching Programs

2. Mathematics – Exploring numeracy through practical problem-solving, patterns, measurement, and real-life applications on the farm and beyond.

3. Science – Encouraging curiosity through observation, experimentation, and outdoor investigations that connect with our natural environment.

4. Humanities and Social Sciences (HASS) – Learning about history, geography, civics, and economics through integrated projects and community engagement.

5. The Arts – Expressing creativity through visual art, music, drama, and movement. Students attend regular Music and Art classes, including in our dedicated art space, Koolbardi. 

6. Technologies – Exploring both digital and design technologies through hands-on challenges, including building, crafting, and experimenting.

7. Health and Physical Education – Fostering wellbeing, resilience, physical skills, and healthy habits through structured play, outdoor activity, and movement-based learning.

8. Languages – All students learn Noongar, the language of the local Aboriginal people, fostering cultural respect and connection to place.

Our curriculum is brought to life through small class sizes, strong teacher-student relationships, and a flexible, responsive approach to meet the individual needs of each learner.
