Middle Swan Primary School

Welcome to Middle Swan PS, a school that has an outstanding reputation for helping students reach their full potential. 

Our school motto of  'Excellence and Respect' is pursued by both staff and students  in all teaching and learning and threaded through every part of school life. The new Staff Charter very clearly communicates that we are one team who strives to support every child to reach their potential.

Middle Swan PS has been an Independent Public School since 2011, enabling us to use resources that create a school environment that is well equipped to meet the needs of all students. We have a beautiful Nature Playground, built outside the undercover area, and a specialist computer program that all Year 1-6 students access. We have a refurbished science classroom, with new  furniture and resources and we constantly renew furniture in classrooms or upgrad parts of the playground. 

The school has three key priorities;  English, Numeracy and Wellbeing. We know that the foundations of English and Numeracy set our students up for further success.  Talk 4 Writing, Talk 4 Reading, Spelling Mastery and Oxford Maths are whole school practices for Years 1-6.

Our early interventions are 'second to none'.  Multi lit and Mini lit are used to provide literacy support in the junior years. We place much emphasis on oral language in the junior years by implementing an oral language program called Language Express and using the services of a speech pathologist to assess all Kindy students for intervention requirements.  Our three year old program "Cygnets", run out of the Child and Parent Centre, is also hugely successful in preparing children to be school ready. Over recent years NAPLAN data reflects the school performs above 'like schools'  and above expectations,  reflecting the impact of school wide interventions and explicit pedagogies.
