Guest SueRich Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi All, As a family we are hoping to move to Mandurah or the surrounding suburbs and would like information regarding the local primary schools. These are the schools I have been looking at: Halls Head Primary. Glencoe Primary. Greenfields Primary. Riverside Primary. Dudley Park Primary. Mandurah Primary. North Mandurah Primary. Falcon Primary. I have searched a few similar forums and some people say that Mandurah Primary is better than North Mandurah. It was mentioned that North Mandurah needed alot of repair work. Not wanting to offend anyone, but a few posts have said to steer clear of Dudley Park and Greenfields - Not sure if this is because they are bad schools or just in 'undesirable' areas. I like what I have heard about the suburb of Halls Head but would like to know more about the school. Any information or advice than anyone could provide would be greatly received.

Sue x A couple of years ago Mandurah Primary was identified as the worst performing primary school in WA. As you will see on the MySchool website http://www.myschool.edu.au/ Mandurah Primary does not perform well, has 51% of its students from the lower socio-economic area, high aboriginal population and the attendance percentage isn't good. Check out the others on this website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SueRich Posted September 13, 2011 Report Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for that Arwen. I've had a look at the website and it is really useful as it gives results for reading, writing, numeracy, spelling and grammar and punctuation (particulary looking at the Year 3 results as this is closest to my son's age). If I was making a decision based on results then Halls Head, Riverside, Falcon and North Mandurah seem to be the best. They all have similar attendance rates also. My little boy has just started school here in the UK and to be honest we haven't picked the best school based on 'results' - We picked a school where we liked the staff and the environment so this is probably what we will do when we get the Oz. Any comments/reviews from parents whose children attend any of these schools would be appreciated. Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest catoyne Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hi, I know this post is old now but how did you get on with researching the primary schools in Mandurah? I am looking in to this also and it seems hard to find a good one by the comments etc, any info would be a great help.

jamesw Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 You have missed South Halls Head primary school. Only 4 years old and very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
