Thank you to the parents and carers who joined us this week to help begin the co-creation of Dawson Park Primary School’s Charter of Commitment and Communications Charter.
Your thoughtful ideas, perspectives, and feedback are greatly appreciated and will help shape the future direction of our school community.
This session was the first step in a broader consultation process, and we are looking forward to hearing from all families in the coming weeks. A community survey will be shared soon so that every parent and carer has the opportunity to contribute their voice, ideas, and aspirations for our school.

🌟HAPPY P&C DAY WA! 🌟
Today we say THANK YOU to WA’s amazing P&Cs!! You all contribute so much to our schools and communities. Your dedication and passion are incredible and we’re so grateful to each and every one of you.
At last count, on average WA P&Cs donated an estimated total of $15 million and nearly 500,000 volunteer hours each year to Western Australian public school communities. Today, we recognise and acknowledge that each hour volunteered and dollar donated goes towards outstanding school experiences for our kids.
We encourage school communities to get on board, share the P&C light, and let your local P&C know that you appreciate all the amazing things they do.

Last week, we were thrilled to welcome West Australian Symphony Orchestra to our school for a wonderful incursion experience for our students.
Through live music, storytelling, and interaction with talented musicians, our students had the opportunity to experience the magic of the orchestra up close — sparking curiosity, creativity, and a lifelong love of music.
A huge thank you to WASO for bringing the orchestra to us and inspiring our students through the power of music. 🎶✨
