Welcome to Caversham Valley

I am proud to be the foundation Principal and have the opportunity to not only lead the talented and dedicated staff who work here, but also the vibrant families of our community.

Our school community is enriched with a blend of over sixty nationalities. As a staff and school, we believe that the diverse background of our students and families is one of the most exciting aspects of our school. Embracing and celebrating the diverse languages, cultures, religions and celebrations of our students brings a richness to learning, and provides a unique and positive experience for the students in our school.

Our dedicated teaching staff have high expectations for all their students. Through high quality teaching and learning practices that are collaborative, evidence based and targeted to each individual child’s needs, we foster student growth and engagement.

Caversham Valley Building Plans 2024

The building of a new double storey teaching block has commenced and should be completed as scheduled in October/November 2024. Students will start accessing this teaching block from the beginning of 2025.

This teaching block will be located behind the Djaril block, providing the school with 10 additional classrooms, a science lab, several ‘break-out' rooms, and outdoor learning areas.

Included in the design is a large, multi-age playground with shade. This will be installed during the construction phase of the teaching block. Both the teaching block and the playground will be a bespoke design, especially created to fit the area. The architects of the building have taken into consideration our existing buildings, landscaping and native flora and fauna. The colours and artwork for the building will reflect this.

The name for this new teaching block will be Pudjak which is the Noongar name for the Parrot bush Banksia.
