Central Perth Elementary School Home

I am thrilled to be joining Central Perth as the new principal and feel incredibly fortunate to become part of such a warm, vibrant, and caring school community.

Central Perth is a rural K–8 school located in the Wartburg area of Ellice Township, within Perth East. Our school boundaries also include the growing neighbourhoods of Knightsbridge, Poet & Perth at the north edge of Stratford, and all of our students travel to school by bus.

One of the first things that stood out to me about Central Perth is its strong sense of belonging. We celebrate the diversity of our school community and are proud to provide an environment where every student and family feels welcomed, valued, and supported.

Our students enjoy wonderful spaces for learning and play, including a spacious schoolyard and a recently expanded forest area. Outdoor learning and physical activity are an important part of life at Central Perth. Students can participate in soccer, gaga ball, tetherball, pickleball, and play on our swings and two play structures. Our Monday morning walks are a much-loved school tradition that sets a positive tone for the week and reflects our commitment to mental health and well-being.

Central Perth also has deep roots in the community. Many parents are former students who now have the special experience of watching their own children walk the same halls—and perhaps even discovering their names on the graduate wall near the office! This strong connection between past and present is part of what makes our school so special.

Our facilities include bright, spacious Kindergarten classrooms, a full-size gym, a well-stocked library, and a Learning Commons equipped with current technology and one-to-one device access for students.

I am excited to learn alongside our students, staff, and families and to build upon Central Perth’s strong traditions of academic success, supportive school culture, and caring relationships. I look forward to getting to know each of you and working together to help every student learn, grow, and thrive.

I warmly invite you to connect with us and discover what makes Central Perth such a wonderful place to belong.
