Welcome to Our New Website!
Bletchley Park Primary School began operating in February 2008 with 196 students from Kindergarten to Year 7. Enrolments grew to 261 by November 2008 and the expected number of students for the commencement of the 2009 school year is around 350.
Our school was officially opened on Friday the 21st November 2008 by the Minister for Education the Honourable Dr Elizabeth Constable MLA.
Our school priorities are Mathematics, English and Values Education. A Values Program was implemented in the first few months of 2008 and a school mascot "TED" was introduced to emphasize “Treating Everyone Decently”. Collaboration and team work are the basis on which the staff are building the ethos of our school.
Bletchley Park Primary School is located in a new subdivision in Southern River with the development including the 2008 Telethon home. The area attracts young families, many who are new to Australia. Students come from the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia and many other countries around the world.
Our school is promoting strong relationships with the parents and the community. Parent volunteers manage the canteen raising much needed funds for our school. Parents facilitate the uniform shop ensuring all students have access to the correct attire. Students have been part of a planting program with the local developer to enhance the environment and the habitats of the native wildlife. Students have participated in an environmental education program in the local area.
Our school has been established to become a hub for government services in the area. In the first year of operation partnerships with the Health Department and the City of Gosnells have been established.
In a recent publication is was stated: “The new Bletchley Park Primary School, which opened in 2008, is a key reason many families have decided to purchase blocks at Bletchley Park and make this their home.”
What's in a name?
Originally established in the early 1950s as Dawson Stud Farm, in recent times it has been home to the celebrated racehorse, Bletchley Park, which inspired the name for the estate. Go back in history and there was also the famous Bletchley Park just outside London, where wartime code-breakers worked to crack the Enigma machine.
