We take a progressive approach to emotional regulation, actively teaching children how to manage their big feelings and providing loving guidance when things become difficult. You can read more about our approach here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/7e158330-23dc-4781-8a63-f930fba81ce4/Boys+reading.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nurture - Comfortable and happy kids At Kwoorabup we know that children need to feel secure and relaxed in order to access their full learning potential each day. That’s why you’ll find cosy nooks in all our classrooms where students can find a quiet restful place to settle their emotions, or simply settle down with a friend and good book. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/40e0e61d-facb-4616-b7d5-ae88e87a02a0/Upper+Primary+2.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nurture - Beautiful environments At our school we want the children to feel at home, so our classrooms are designed to be open with room for children to move around between their learning activities. We are so lucky to have such a beautiful outdoor environment, and we feel it is equally important to create a restful and inviting space for indoor learning as well. This follows the Reggio Emilio philosophy of ‘the environment as the third teacher’. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635747599903-D2IRM5CLGQ0RXK06AH8N/rainbow+run+2.jpeg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nurture - Families are welcome We are proudly an ‘open door’ school, where parents and family members are welcome and encouraged to come and be a part of the school day. We understand that to create a cohesive and nurturing environment for the children it is important for them to be able to share their experiences with the most important people in their lives … you! For those parents whose working and family responsibilities make it hard to join in during the school week we work hard to share the learning journey through our photo based apps that instantly bring the precious moments straight to your phone. There is no obligation to help out at the school, only opportunity, which allows the gift of your presence and help to be freely given and received with the thanks it deserves. https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/office daily 0.75 2026-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618499940057-NOSVTAF5RUJ93L845Q7V/20140301_Trade%2B151_0124-Cropped.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618502539595-SQVFPHXO9PZ30YYYQ1LK/Large%2BJPG-20140228_Trade%2B151_0046.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847758762-K3GBXS5IJOG1B9FHF8T2/Large%2BJPG-Aro%2BHa_0428.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847767761-J2M1HI20BXRQ9XCR0HUD/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635753182391-WRAPKE6U9IITDN6HI19N/Inlet+vista.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/122e211f-fe63-4d3d-a7ba-3f153c48778d/welcoming+sandra.JPG Kwoorabup Nature School - Office https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/general-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635491195845-RDOXDS6EPMFQF3A1T055/Jack+o+lantern.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635491513327-LBI1J2GPKI3O2BOF8L25/Lena+butterfly.JPG Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635735456163-RM83QHVXMM3T8Q21R3QB/Jo+beauty.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/9732b213-ada4-4d62-8e53-15c05cc51603/C8493E79-4608-4B18-A53A-251FB1AF6464_1_105_c.jpeg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/c468bf54-fdbb-4982-a2a0-c16cc806d379/20241206_115725.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/74ce5d59-0d0a-49b7-89c1-8625e12e29b9/IMG_3650.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/d36dc666-7baa-487f-a94a-585ed303f976/cubby+Kindy.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Community - Playgroup Every Friday During term 9am to 11am, all ages welcome for seasonal explorations, songs and community connection. $10 per session for one participating child, $15 for two, with your first session free.

Whether it is as a member of the School Board, assisting in the classroom or making food for festivals, it is our passionate parents that make our thriving community so amazing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/c8d6853d-6bbb-436d-b26b-ac1d4227be4b/IMG_9557.JPG Kwoorabup Nature School - Community - Building relationships As part of a small town it is really important to us to build relationships beyond our immediate family networks and connect in with the local community groups which have so much to offer our students. We also have good connections with the other schools in the region, with the local Principals meeting regularly and many families knowing each other socially through sports and other activities. This connectivity is of particular importance to our older students as they transition towards high school and widen their horizons accordingly. We have deliberately cultivated a close relationship with the local High Schools to ensure that the transition for students is smooth and successful. https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/general-1-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/c30e392e-6e22-4237-a2b2-9de628d57b2c/walkabout+mat.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nature - Instant classroom, Anywhere! Imagine being able to take your botany class in a forest, your geography lesson while boating down a river and your history class talking with elders who have actually lived it. This is the magic of Boodja koorliny which can take the students to wherever the learning is to be discovered … which is usually … everywhere! Our experienced teachers identify the learning outcomes required by the WA Curriculum and plan adventures that will give the students real life insights into the content they need to learn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/64fe070e-5990-4e5d-9120-5bc23e39fd5b/bikeabout.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nature - Adventure into learning Children are progressively extended into adventurous outdoor activities such as mountain biking, hiking, swimming, surfing and kayaking. We teach them to assess risk and balance this with the benefits of a planned activity and location, and how to take care of themselves and each other when they are exploring the beautiful natural world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/7ad5b6c5-95c4-4934-8276-368f8494c6ff/Rivermouth+journals.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nature - Observing and reflecting Children are taught to record their observations and reflections of the day in a keepsake journal that travels with them as they progress through the school. This allows us to fully absorb and take in the changes that happen in the natural world over the seasons and years, and gives the children a permanent record of their deepening connection to the special places that they visit year after year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/f59dac9c-d45a-4a29-b7d5-50187508180d/Kindy+and+PrePrimary+kids+on+walkabout+.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nature - For the little ones too… Our smallest explorers are not left out of the Boodja Koorliny experience, with Kindergarten mini-bk expeditions starting within the school grounds and gradually venturing further afield as the children are ready. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/c8e67157-c3fe-4841-bce2-6422f57a832b/camp+at+night+two+%28moon%29.jpeg Kwoorabup Nature School - Nature - And Don’t forget the CAMPS! From Year 3 onwards our students have regular camps throughout the year. These range from bush hiking and camping to surf camps and adventure activity camps based at more formal accomodation venues. A highlight for most students is the rights of passage camp held at the end of Year 6 where they venture further afield and camp out at Baladjie rock by the salt lake. Our younger students also get a taste for the experience with a sleepover at school in Year 2. https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/knowledge daily 0.75 2021-12-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/805d6820-40bf-4e22-8d43-2b21bf7fc22e/Harry+music.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Knowledge - It Starts with Play Early Childhood experts all agree that a play-based start to learning sets children up to become life-long learners who carry their enthusiasm for the world and all its wonders right through to adulthood. At Kwoorabup we also believe that a strong emphasis on social and emotional skill building in the context of a literacy and numeracy rich environment is the best possible start to schooling. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/bffd4377-797c-4707-b319-56bb7ad80d2a/Space+ship+hero.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Knowledge - Research scientists of the future Our inquiry-based teaching style positions the children as researchers right from the beginning of their learning journey. Instead of being rote taught facts, they are taught how to ask questions, think critically and design experiments to test their ideas. Our teachers act as facilitators and co-learners, provoking questions and supporting students to carry their curiosity into new realms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/a38347c6-f8d7-4be7-9df6-df113d485ee7/Girls+cooking+%28Jaya%29.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Knowledge - Learning by doing Our students are a key part of organising and running our community events and festivals and we specifically plan to integrate key elements of the curriculum such as numeracy and literacy into these hands on experiences. For example we are proud to produce students who are financially competent and enthusiastic about mathematics when they leave Primary School. Why use a printed worksheet when you can run a cake stall instead? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/ecff6093-5d95-4aaf-8024-4b00bd9d5a43/MP+Kids+making+stop+motion.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Knowledge - Cooperative team work Starting from Year 3 students are given access to range of technological tools such as stop motion animation, coding, robotics and more. Our STEAM and digital technologies program provides a hands on opportunity to integrate our environmental focus into project based learning in teams. Working together is a really important skill for our children to learn however it does take work to get it right. By explicitly teaching how a team works and the different roles we all play in getting a project together we are setting them up with a toolkit for life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1625577390934-JKJ0Z2ULC6QY36K49TCI/373FA664-ECE3-4B22-9B6D-7D74584AB833.jpeg Kwoorabup Nature School - Knowledge - EVIDENCE BASED explicit teaching Because of our small class sizes our exceptional teachers and assistants are able to provide frequent one on one support to ensure that all the elements of the curriculum are covered and understood by our students. We use evidence based approaches to teach literacy and numeracy and back up our teaching with regular assessment which allows our staff to create a collaborative data wall that tracks each student’s progress over time. https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/acknowledgement-of-country daily 0.75 2023-10-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/4ea8c66b-891f-405e-81cc-913ba374c5ce/close+up+Auntie+damper.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Acknowledgement of Country - Reconciliation Action Plan We have a registered Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) that outlines the concrete steps our school is taking towards reconciliation.

Our dedicated program is enriched with visits from local Noongar Elders and teachers, and Language is also integrated across the school week by all teachers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/1635752247100-TF5D8V2EEN8050S9HASO/Seasonal+painting+low+res.jpg Kwoorabup Nature School - Acknowledgement of Country - Teaching the six seasons Our school’s focus on the environment and the seasonal changes that occur around us is very much informed and based on the traditional knowledge that has been passed on by the Pibulman and Minang custodians of this land. The children are taught about the six Noongar seasons and our factional groups in the school are based on the Noongar season in which each child was born. Children learn while immersed in their environment what specific changes occur in nature with each season and how this relates to the abundance of food available at each time of the year and the seasonal movements of people across Country in response to this. They learn about the bush tucker that is available in our environment at the different times of year. https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/giving-page-2-1 daily 0.75 2025-10-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847921926-YXCEN2JVL6T6OEYSBTQG/image-asset.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/59db377f-34a5-470c-aef0-c45630106587/AroHa_02.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/6601d933-4d8f-4bb6-87f4-2a7858f8e0b0/image-asset+%287%29.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/62087746-bce6-492e-a743-a1009948e2cf/20140301_Trade-151_0124-copy.jpg https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/scholarships daily 0.75 2025-11-21 https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/store daily 0.75 57802-02-26 https://www.kwoorabup.wa.edu.au/store/p/kwoor-long-sleeve-tshirt-kids monthly 0.5 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/f05ebbc7-e38d-47b2-86b1-f694a9a024c3/IMG_7766.jpg Store - Kwoor long sleeve tshirt - kids - IMG_7766.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e31c7d6a567278e6cf1619/b5ab7908-b001-4d35-b5fd-1800eb2de80a/IMG_7768.jpg Store - Kwoor long sleeve tshirt - kids - IMG_7768.jpg
