Education VICÂ introduces Duncraig Primary School in Duncraig, for all your education and learning needs.
Duncraig Primary School began operations in 1973. It is located in the western suburbs of Perth, a short distance
from the Indian Ocean and is within the local government area of Joondalup, the state electorate of Hillarys and the Commonwealth electorate of Moore. It is situated in an area well served by community facilities.
The school enrols children from a wide cross section of the Perth community. As such, many of the children’s families have
immigrated to Australia in recent years. Currently we have approximately 325 students enrolled. Duncraig Primary is a very child-centred school.
The school focuses on developing children's confidence
and independence, as learners, by providing opportunities to learn:
-
to be problem solvers
-
to set and monitor learning goals
-
to work independently and in groups
-
to plan activities, and
-
to have success speaking to small and large groups
Teachers in the school are developing their skills in the use of information technology and the school has well resourced learning technologies. Networked computers in every classroom are used to enhance the education program and interactive whiteboards are installed in four classrooms, with plans for further extension.
The school aims to foster harmonious and effective communication between all members of the school community. Collaboration and co operation between staff, students, parents and the wider community is a feature of the school.
