Dunsborough Primary School enjoys one of the most picturesque locations of any primary school in the State. Situated in the old part of Dunsborough, some 275 km from Perth, the school is built on a 4ha elevated site adjacent to a golf course, overlooking Geographe Bay.

The school grounds are aesthetically pleasing with natural bush borders on the southern and eastern boundaries and extensive lawn and play areas. A significant feature of the grounds is the number of large trees that are interspersed around the buildings and the school oval.

Creating a safe and supportive environment for students is a key focus for the school. Programs such as Peer Mediation and the Virtues Project are used to encourage children to practice socially acceptable behaviours at every opportunity. A part time school chaplain provides pastoral care and support to children, parents and staff.

Dunsborough Primary School Beach Clean Up

Students from Dunsborough Primary School participated in Marine Debris Presentations as part of the 2008 Cape to Cape Beach Clean Up activities in October. Students then visited local Old Dunsborough Beach collecting debris and compiling data on what they found submitting it for use in the South West Marine Debris Project database.

47 students collected 599 pieces of debris from 500m of the Dunsborough foreshore in just one hour. Most common items found were 108 pieces of broken glass, 97 bits of broken plastic and 86 cigarette butts.
