Floreat Park Primary School

Floreat is an affluent, established residential suburb about 8 km west-northwest of the Perth CBD. With a median age of 40, it’s a settled, family-oriented community of professionals and managers. The suburb centres around the Floreat Forum shopping centre, which includes a dining precinct, medical centre and tavern, and sits right next to the Town of Cambridge municipal offices and library. You’re also close to the Cambridge Street dining and commercial strip in neighbouring Wembley. It’s a leafy, well-kept area where high property values reflect strong demand—a comfortable, stable place to put down roots.

Floreat Park Primary School has a rich extra-curricular culture that runs alongside the classroom. There’s a school choir and orchestra that rehearse before school, plus a before-school swimming program for Year 4–6 students in Term 1, a running club in Term 2, and interschool sport team training in Term 3. For older students, the school runs a 1:1 iPad program for Years 3 to 6, supported by a dedicated Future Technology at Floreat Committee. It’s a school that clearly values both the arts and active, tech-savvy learning.

The school has partnered with TheirCare to provide Outside School Hours Care (OSHC). The program runs from 6:45am to 9:00am before school and from 3:00pm to 6:00pm each school day, with extended hours of 7:00am to 6:00pm during school holidays and pupil-free days. Families may be eligible for the Child Care Subsidy government rebate, which can reduce session costs by up to 90%. It’s a solid, reliable option for working parents.

Floreat Forum is your go-to for groceries and everyday needs, with the main shopping options found within that precinct. For a night out or takeaway, Amore Italian Restaurant and Cafe (444B Cambridge St) serves pizza, pasta and gelato, open Monday to Saturday from 12:00pm to 9:30pm—good for dine-in, takeaway or group meals. Pizza on Cambridge offers classic and premium pizzas with dine-in and takeaway, and Pescado Seafoods does fish and chips with battered, crumbed or grilled fish and squid rings. All are within or near Floreat.

HighSchoolTutors.com.au also lists 51–56 tutors in Floreat and nearby suburbs covering maths, English, humanities and sciences, with rates from roughly $60–$120 per hour.
