Over the years a real community spirit has evolved with parents and staff working together to provide the best possible facilities and educational programs for the students. Our students are well mannered, cooperative and motivated to learn, the parents are extremely supportive and the experienced teaching staff are hard working and enthusiastic.

Our school has much to offer to new residents and cross-boundary enrolments. The size of the school, the innovative and established education programs and positive working relationships between students, staff and parents all contribute to make this school highly desirable for potential student enrolments.

From a quarry to a school.
The Newton Primary School site has contributed to significant West Australian icons. The site, named Congdon's Quarry was mined by William George Congdon from the 1920's. The limestone was carried to the nearby railway siding near the corner of Edeline Street and Rockingham Road. The stone was used in construction of the Fremantle War Memorial and the University of Western Australia.
​
Newton Primary School commenced operating in 1981. The school was officially opened by the Honorable R J Pearce, Minister of Education on the 24th October 1984. The Director General at the time was Mr Robert L Vickery. The Public Works Principal Architect was W E M Bateman.
