Nestled in the charming rural town of Kirup, just 55km from Bunbury on the Southwest Highway between Donnybrook and Balingup, Kirup Primary School offers a warm and inclusive learning environment where children thrive both academically and personally.

We cater to students from Kindergarten to Year 6 (K-6), offering a quality education tailored to each child's individual needs. With small class sizes and a robust teacher-to-student ratio, every child receives the attention they deserve, including those requiring enrichment or additional support.

Our purpose is simple: to create a nurturing and stimulating environment where every child can reach their full potential; academically, socially, creatively, and emotionally. We believe that learning is most successful when students, staff, and families work together in a spirit of trust, communication, and joy.
