About Us
Established in 1988, Clifton Park Primary School is located in the Australind area, north of the City of Bunbury. It is nestled in an attractive bushland setting on Lucy Victoria Avenue in the picturesque Clifton Park area. Our school provides for the local community and welcomes students from the greater Bunbury area. The Clifton Park Primary School building is a practical and functional lineal design consisting of six primary teaching areas, an Art/Craft Room, a Music Room, Library/Resource Centre, Administration Centre and a Pre-primary Centre. There is also a purpose-built Early Childhood Centre. The Year One to Six classrooms are all linked by a central corridor, which serves as a venue to display students’ work and as a small group instructional area. The school utilises its efficient design and its excellent facilities to maximise the learning potential of each child. Clifton Park currently has around 200 students. Our professional staff are committed to providing each student with opportunities for growth academically, socially and emotionally. Our school aims to make the students’ primary school years memorable and enjoyable whilst building a solid educational foundation that fosters lifelong learning habits. Our school offers a comprehensive curriculum emphasising Literacy and Numeracy as well as including excellent Physical Education, Technology, Music, Art and Japanese programs. Clifton Park also has an effective functioning values-based pastoral care approach and student behaviour program. There is a strong sense of community in the Clifton Park area. The school enjoys active parent participation and this strong partnership has contributed to the outstanding tone and friendly nature of the school. Community involvement in the school exists on several levels: Through parent bodies such as the active and hard working Parents and Citizens Association and a decision-making group known as the School Management Committee, which performs the functions of a School Council. Staff also encourage parents to make regular enquiries regarding student performance as well as to play an active role in their child’s’ education at home and at school when the opportunities arise.

Illness and Communicable Diseases
In accordance with DOE guidelines, the school has formulated a policy on the administration of medication to students at school. Parents must complete a Medication Authorization Form prior to any staff member administering medication to your child. Copies of this form are available at the office. It is also critical that, if your child has any allergies, an action plan is prepared and discussed with staff to ensure we are aware of your child’s needs and that your child receives the best possible care in the event of an allergic reaction whilst at school. Please don’t send students to school when they are unwell. If your child has diarrhoea or vomiting please exclude them for 24 hours after the last incident of diarrhoea or vomiting. With infectious diseases it is often necessary for children to be excluded from school for a period of time. Please refer to the Communicable Diseases Quick Reference Sheet for further information.Online Payment Details
