MEMORIAL DONOR TREE ORDERS NOW OPEN
A Memorial Donor Tree will be installed at the school this year as part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations. We are inviting you to be a part of the Tree by purchasing a Leaf, which will be engraved and then placed upon the tree at school before our fete in November.
Welcome to Gibbs Street Primary School
The name “Gibbs” has a long association with
the Cannington area and is linked to much of the early development and history of the area. The area on which our School now stands was previously used for dairying and pig farming.
The Western family owned the dairy and resided in the premises, still on the School grounds, known as “Western House”.
The School was opened in 1971. In 1996 the school celebrated its 25th Anniversary. In 1997 the administration block was extended and the old building was modified and refurbished. The school facilities include, more about the school…

Our times
All children are required to be in their classrooms ready to start school at 8.30am
- 8.55am Late arrive notice needed from the school office
Early arrivals
Students who arrive at school before 8.30am must move immediately to the Reading Club at Western House and wait until they are dismissed at 8.30am. This is the only area where students are under supervision. There is no formal supervision prior to 8.00am, so parents are encouraged not to send their children to school before this.
Parents & Citizens Committee
Parents, staff and community members meet twice per term to assist with providing the best opportunities for the children attending Gibbs Street Primary School.
All parents are encouraged to attend to ensure we cover all aspects of our community. It’s just another way you can participate in your child’s learning journey.
Check the Events page or the Canteen Noticeboard on grounds for our next meeting.
