Cooinda Primary School

Cooinda Primary School is a level 5 school catering for children from Kindergarten through to Year 7. Teaching and learning programs incorporate access to a wide range of Information and Communication Technology options and resources. Cooinda provides Physical Education, Music and Visual Art programmes and an Indonesian language program. A partnership with Bunbury Senior High School provides opportunity for extension programmes for Cooinda students, supporting our focus on the pursuit of personal excellence.

Cooinda is the indigenous word for 'happy meeting place' where children are seen as individuals but coming together they reflect a wonderful multicultural community. The school opened in 1968 (original name Trott Street Junior School) and during its first year names were submitted to reflect the ethos of the school. The name accepted by the Department of Education and Training, made Cooinda the first school in Western Australia to hold a name other than the town/district in which it was situated.

The school's motto of 'Pride, Courtesy and Sincerity" continues to drive all we do in our pursuit of excellence. Everyone is welcome at Cooinda. In 2010 Cooinda was selected to become an Independent Public School. This achievement acknowledges the capacity of our school to operate with greater flexibility and autonomy and is a reflection of the work of the staff and community in building student achievement. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities this status gives us and the greater capacity the wider community has for participation in whole school directions.
