Welcome to Gibbs Street Primary School
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”.
Welcome families to the Gibbs Street Primary School Community.
My name is Julie Fendrich and I have the pleasure of being the Principal of Gibbs Street Primary School. During my Public Education leadership journey, I have worked in a diverse range of roles with students in Kindergarten through to Year 10. I am passionate about raising the standards and expectations of all students and maximising achievement through providing a rich learning environment. I look forward to working with you all to make Gibbs Street Primary School a great and rewarding experience for all students. Julie Fendrich

Our times
Early arrivals
Students who arrive at school before 8.30am must move immediately to 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 8am, so parents are encouraged not to send their children to school before this.
We ask that students who are waiting with their parents/carers or family members also wait in the area so that the same message is going out to all students.
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.
