Yangebup Primary School

Yangebup is a middle-income, family-oriented suburb in Perth’s southern corridor, where most households are couples with children and the median weekly income sits around $1,915. It’s a place where tradespeople and owner-occupiers dominate—78% of homes are owned—giving the streets a settled, neighbourly feel. You’ll find plenty of green space at parks like Ronsard Park, Visco Park, Levi Park, and Pereena Roche Reserve, the latter with playgrounds and a small duck lake perfect for weekend strolls. The local shopping centre on Swallow Drive covers everyday needs with a medical centre, chemist, dental clinic, and vet clinic, so you won’t have to travel far for errands. It’s a practical, welcoming base for raising a family, with a strong sense of community that newcomers often appreciate.

Yangebup Primary School focuses on creating a supportive learning environment where kids can thrive academically and socially. The school offers a range of named extracurricular activities that run at various times throughout the year, including Chess Club, Choir, and Lego Club—great for helping your child find their niche and make friends outside the classroom. For those interested in music, the school partners with Perth Music Agency to provide one-on-one instrumental tuition in Piano, Guitar, Ukulele, or Vocals during school hours, making it easy to fit lessons into the school day. Additional activities like Brandy Cup, Foxes and Rabbits, Table Tennis, and Volley Ball round out the options, ensuring there’s something for every interest. It’s a school that clearly values both academic growth and personal development.

For working parents, Yangebup Primary School has partnered with Teddy Bear Corner OSHC since September 2017 to provide onsite after-school care and school holiday care. The service is conveniently located right at the school on Moorhen Drive, so your child can transition smoothly from class to care without leaving the familiar school grounds. You can reach them directly at 0402 162 697 or via email at yangebup.teddybearcorner@iinet.net.au to discuss your needs and current arrangements. Having this onsite option takes the stress out of juggling work and school pickups, giving you peace of mind that your child is well-supervised and engaged after the bell rings.
