At Winthrop Primary School we live our school motto of learning and growing together. Our whole school pedagogy is built around this motto with a focus on continual growth and improvement in all aspects of our work.
We believe that children learn best when each and every one of them is valued, supported, connected and nurtured to develop a ‘can do’ attitude.
Our school understands and acknowledges that our values of Respect, Responsibility, Care and Achievement underpin
everything we do.
We care about and look after ourselves, other people and our environment.
Care
We show regard for the feelings, wishes and rights of others because everyone has the right to be respected.
Respect
We are accountable and take responsibility for our own actions.
Responsibility
We know success is not always about simply achieving the goal but is also about the important learning you do along the way.
Achievement
Engage With Our School Community
Winthrop Primary School works in partnership with community to support all
students in becoming successful learners, confident and creative individuals and
active and informed citizens.
Our hearts are full… on Tuesday we were able to deliver three car loads of donations to KCSG House. The work this charity does to support the most vulnerable members of our community and their families is tremendous ♥️
We have included a message below that highlights our impact for families on the Oncology Ward at PCH and the last photo shows the fabulous hampers that each family on the ward receives through donations like ours!
"Being a parent of a child that was sick with cancer was heartbreaking. Seeing them laying in a hospital bed for days and weeks on end, feeling so terribly unwell is so sad and horrible for any child to have to go through.
The power of the toy trolley visits to the sick kids’ hospital rooms was so amazing. Bringing a little joy with a toy when smiles are hard to find is priceless. The lucky dip items were special treasures that they could choose as a special treat after undergoing an invasive and often painful procedure. They acted as a small reward for their bravery, a distraction from their tears, and a positive pairing with a hospital visit or stay.
I was so thankful to be able to steal a few minutes away from my child’s beside to grab something quickly to eat or make a quick cuppa from the stocked kitchen.
Thank you for donations, your kindness and generosity. WPS community is helping deliver smiles when they are needed most to our bravest kids!"
Thank you for arranging! What a thoughtful gift.
Fantastic work WPS community 👏👏👏
Awesome girls! 🌸

We are so proud of recent Winthrop Year 6 Graduate Jack!!
Recently Jack traveled to Guam to play for Team Australia Baseball in the U12 World Cup Oceania qualifying tournament. Australia won, and they have now qualified for the U12 World Cup. Jack is hoping to be reselected for that team and travel to Chinese Taipei for the tournament in July 2025.
Congratulations Jack on this incredible achievement. Your Winthrop family will be waiting eagerly for updates on your future achievements ⚾️🏆👏
As part of the school’s Your Move and Active Transport focus the team have come up with an idea to get more families out walking, wheeling or riding over the coming few weeks.
This link will take you to a Google Earth map.
earth.google.com/web/data=MkEKPwo9CiExMm8xa3pjSGtjcVN5MjYydzR0QVE2R3kzRkhvQ1NIZmkSFgoUMDBFREQyMTE...
Anyone can open this map and you’ll see that there are four different coloured trails suggested on the map, which will take you past a range of pretty lights and some VERY impressive lights marked with the larger purple pins.
We encourage families to get out and moving together and view these incredible lights displays all around Winthrop, with a few more nearby in Murdoch and Kardinya.
You’ll get more out of your touring by taking it slower on foot or on your bikes together and if you invite other families along we can keep our great Winthrop community feeling growing over this festive break.
Stay safe everyone.
Such a great idea. Definitely will walk it with the kids🎄🎅🏻

As Winthropians we take responsibility for our actions and acknowledge our mistakes.
The best thing I like about my work are the 'lightbulb' moments when you see on a child's face that they understand something for the first time.
Everyone is kind, generous and friendly. Everyone fits in at Winthrop because you can make friends and be a good friend.
The best thing I like about my work is our connected community, the growth I see in my students and the humour shared working toward our goals.
The best thing I like about my work is seeing my students' 'get it,' whatever their personal 'it' is.
At Winthrop Primary School everyone belongs because we are good at sharing our cultures.
The thing I like best about my work is the opportunity to connect with the whole child to enable a love of learning, life and ongoing growth.
Learn and Grow Together.
