Beechboro Christian School

Bennett Springs has a relaxed, outdoorsy feel that suits families beautifully. With 17 parks covering about 15% of the suburb, there’s plenty of green space for weekend kickabouts or evening strolls. The community is overwhelmingly family-focused—most households are couples with children, and the largest age group is 10–19 years, so your kids will likely find playmates nearby. It’s a stable, owner-occupied area (82% of homes are owned), with a mix of trades and white-collar workers. The median house value sits around $1 million, reflecting a comfortable, middle-to-upper-income suburb. So you’ll find a welcoming, multicultural mix here.

Beechboro Christian School, part of the Swan Christian Education Association, is built on a Christ-centred culture that emphasises kindness, community, courage, and excellence. It’s not just about academics—the school actively encourages character development through programs like the River Rangers Cadet Program, which builds leadership and outdoor skills. There’s also a before- and after-school Sport Program, so active kids can stay engaged beyond lessons. The school participates in WACSSA Interschool Athletics Carnivals, giving students the chance to compete in track and field events against other schools. This suggests a strong focus on holistic development—mixing faith, learning, and physical activity in a supportive environment. The school’s location at 160 Bennett Springs Drive means it’s likely a short drive or walk from many homes in the suburb.

For working parents, Beechboro Christian School has you covered with Outside School Hours Care provided by Camp Australia. They run both Before School Care and After School Care for children aged 5–12, which is a huge relief if you need reliable supervision around work hours. The service is flexible, and you can book sessions as needed. This means you can drop the kids off early and pick them up later without stress, knowing they’re in a structured, safe environment. It’s a practical setup that lets you focus on your job while your children are well looked after.

Weeknight dinners are easy in Bennett Springs, thanks to the Springs Shopping Centre at the corner of Bridgeman Drive and Beechboro Road North.
