Attadale Primary School

I went here, graduated year 6 in 2016. I will never forget my lovely teacher Ms. Dartnall, whose handwriting I tried to replicate - she treated us like adults and I loved that. Mr Delacey, the music teacher at the time recognised my musical talent and inspired me to continue music. He taught us so many instruments and I will always be thankful. Most notably, I remember being grateful for my year 2 teacher Mrs Tan who was nothing but kind, generous and patient when I arrived in Australia not knowing any English. What a beautiful place to grow and learn. The canteen staff as well!

Made some amazing friends for life) Thank you.

I was invited to read my childrens book to year 4 class children. The school was very well kept and reception was very friendly.

My son loves the school. Great community around the school including the Dad group (Attadads).

When I attended this school, the teachers turned a blind eye to bullying (including physical violence such as pushing, shoving, kicking, punching, scratching, spitting, plus sexual harassment of girls by boys such as boys looking up girls skirts, making sexual comments about girls bodies, and groping girls breasts/chests, to name a few). They punished victims for trying to defend themselves leaving victims with no option but to take their beatings in silence.
How students were treated by the teachers - everything from their academic encouragement to their safety - depended on whether the teachers liked them. The result? Autistic kids, kids with ADHD, and kids with behavioural problems were brutalized by students (sometimes by teachers too!) and left to fend for themselves. I hope things have changed since the late 90s but I doubt it.

I remember Miss Wills the most. She didn't treat me fairly or appropriately because she didn't like me, an American student.
