Principals Address

Hello and a warm welcome to our Kingston Primary School website!

I’m thrilled to introduce you to Kingston Primary and share what makes our school such a special place. Since joining in July 2024, I’ve been continually inspired by the warmth, dedication, and professionalism of our staff, the kindness and respect shared throughout our community, and the incredible students who are at the heart of everything we do.

At Kingston, we are proud to be a school grounded in care, respect, excellence, and courage. These values are lived out daily in our classrooms, playgrounds, and staffrooms. We understand that learning goes hand-in-hand with wellbeing. That’s why we provide not just outstanding education, but also a safe, supportive environment where every student feels they belong.

Our student services team is one of our greatest strengths. With a dedicated group including social workers, student counsellors, psychologist, and exceptional admin team, we work hard to ensure every child has the support they need to thrive. In fact, in 2024 we were honoured to receive the WA Mental Health Education Award—a testament to the commitment and care of our entire staff.

When it comes to learning, excellence is our standard. Our teaching team includes many highly experienced senior and Level 3 teachers—educators who are passionate about delivering the highest quality education. They’re committed to continuous learning themselves, regularly engaging in professional development to stay at the forefront of best teaching practice. Our education assistants and allied professionals also play a vital role in supporting each student’s journey.

We’re proud of our school’s diversity and the rich tapestry of cultures that make up our community. We honour and acknowledge the Wanju Noongar land on which we learn and grow together, and we are committed to deepening our cultural responsiveness and understanding every day.

Our strong community spirit is also supported by an active School Board and P&C. These groups play a key role in shaping our strategic direction, welcoming new families, and building connections across our school.

It’s an honour to lead Kingston Primary alongside our exceptional deputy principals. Together with our staff, students and families, we are building a school community where everyone belongs, feels supported, and is given every opportunity to succeed.

We look forward to sharing the journey with you.

Warm regards,

Anthea Patten

Principal, Kingston Primary School
