Belmont Primary School

Belmont is a friendly, middle-income suburb just east of Perth’s city centre, with a younger-than-average population and a real mix of owner-occupiers and renters. It’s the kind of place where neighbours know each other, and the community feels grounded and welcoming. With a median age of 36 and a notable Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, there’s a down-to-earth, inclusive vibe. You’ll find everyday conveniences nearby, and the City of Belmont area (home to over 42,000 people) offers plenty of local services and retail centres. For families, it’s a practical, well-connected base—close enough to the city for work or play, but with a quieter, suburban feel after hours.

Belmont Primary School sits at the heart of this community, providing a solid, neighbourhood-focused education for local children. You can expect a typical Australian primary curriculum, with dedicated teachers and a supportive environment. For the latest on clubs, sports, or music programs, the school office is your best first stop—they’ll happily share what’s on offer for your child’s year level. It’s a school that feels like part of the suburb’s fabric, not just a building.

Good news for working parents: Belmont Primary School has on-site outside school hours care, registered as “Belmont Primary School CommunityOSH” and run by CommunityOSH. This means after-school care is available right at the school, which makes pick-up logistics much simpler. Whether that’s for a standard 3:00 PM finish or a longer day. The school office can confirm current before- and after-school care arrangements. Having care on-site is a real bonus for families juggling work and school runs.
