Newdegate Primary School (PS) is located in the Great Southern agricultural region of Western Australia (WA), approximately 400 km south-east of Perth. We are a small school with enrolments fluctuating from 40 to 45 children.

Newdegate PS’s vision is to prepare students to be productive community members who achieve their best through life-long learning. Our focus is to develop the potential of our students so they can maximise educational opportunities in academic, social, physical and creative skills. Our class sizes give us the space and opportunity for individualised teaching programs that foster the 'whole child' and create a safe nurturing learning environment for our students.
Our School Values are:
Independence: Self-respect and self-resilience.
Achievement: We set standards and expectations that challenge us to progress.
Belonging: We appreciate individuality, value the contributions of others, and appreciate our own worth and our surrounding environment.
Citizenship: We contribute positively to our school and wider community to ensure they are better places to live and learn.
