It’s a straightforward, well-regarded local option where your child will move through primary years with the same peer group, building lasting friendships. The school sits within the City of Joondalup, and while specific club or team names aren’t widely publicised, the school’s focus is on a solid, inclusive education.

It’s the kind of school where teachers know your child’s name and parents feel welcome in the classroom.

For working parents, Zig Zags OSHC operates outside school hours care right at Mullaloo Beach Primary School, located at 59 West View Bvd.

Specific session hours aren’t published in the listings, but the school office can confirm current before- and after-school care arrangements. Having care based at the school itself is a real convenience—no extra driving to a separate centre, and your child stays in a familiar environment with their friends. It’s worth contacting the school directly to ask about booking, fees, and whether vacation care is also offered.
