Welcome
Here at Rupanyup Primary School, we believe in a holistic approach to developing students’ academic, emotional and social growth. Our diverse and knowledge-rich curriculum paired with Health and Wellbeing programs nurtures the whole child throughout their learning journey. Students are encouraged to be inquisitive, dream big and make positive contributions to the community.
Rupanyup Primary School is a member of the Dunmunkle Cluster, a group of five schools that have long shared resources, Professional Development, staff and planning. Our students benefit from a wide variety of experiences through cultural performances, sport and excursions.
The curriculum provides carefully planned and mapped educational opportunities in Literacy, Mathematics, Science, History, LOTE (Spanish), Physical Education and Visual Arts. Class sizes are small, giving our school a strong sense of community while providing the time and space for every student to reach their full potential.

Our Values
Rupanyup Primary School has a values program that helps guide the way we conduct ourselves inside and outside of school. We help instil these guiding principles by focusing on a new value every three weeks within the classroom.
The students, staff and wider Rupanyup community worked together to develop the following five core values:
Integrity - The quality of being honest and to try to learn from our mistakes.
Perseverance - Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success.
Respect - Regard for the feelings, wishes, or rights of others.
Responsibility - The opportunity or ability to act independently and reliably.
Co-operation - Working together and sharing.
