Our school has a long history. The first school at Tea Tree Gully, then known as Steventon, was opened in 1870. The original stone building, together with the additional 1930’s brick classroom and former Principal’s residence are still standing on the southern side of our property fronting Dowding Terrace. For about 90 years the original school served the small country community.

The school grew as the urban sprawl stretched out. Transportable classrooms were brought in to cope with the enrolments that came with housing development. In 1963, prior to the opening of Banksia Park Primary, the numbers peaked. Enrolments declined with the building of Banksia and later St. Agnes Primary Schools.

The present school – the first new open space school built – was opened in 1973. The school is proud of its environment and the children are encouraged to care for the school grounds. We have received Commendations in KESAB Awards.

There were four houses involved in Sports Day. They were named in 1964 after local residents Angove, Haines, Hancock and Bowen. In 2003 we reverted to 3 houses. Our current school teams are also named after local residents.
