| Established in 1913, Nedlands Primary School has seen many prominent West Australians pass through its ranks. The school generally draws children of parents in professional fields in the high socio-economic area and there are strong traditions of attendance across family generations. It also attracts a number of children of overseas students and staff employed at the nearby University of Western Australia and Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. There is strong community support from parents and local businesses who, in recent years, have funded the development of a substantial playground project, air-conditioning of the total school the enclosing of the under cover area and running costs of the swimming pool. There is an experienced and loyal staff, many of whom have been at the school for up to twenty years. Three teachers are situated at the Child Study Centre at the University of Western Australia which is an off-site Kindergarten and Pre-Primary of the main school. There is a third Pre-Primary and kindergarten at the Nedlands Park Early Learning Centre, about 1km from the main school. Facilities include air-conditioned and gas heated classrooms, two school ovals, a cricket pitch, tennis, basketball and netball courts, a 25m swimming pool and adventure playgrounds. There is an enclosed performing arts/activity centre for cultural and sporting events, a large modern library and resource centre, a computer laboratory with sixteen computers, as well as at least two internet-linked computers in each classroom, an art centre and a music room. An Instrumental Music Tuition Program has more than 80 children from Years 3 to 7 involved. Instruments include violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute and brass. A Religion in Life program is offered to all students, on a voluntary basis, through the Hollywood Christian Group of religious instruction teachers. The school also offers Baha'i Religious Education classes as an (voluntary)alternative. In Years 5, 6 and 7 children identified as being gifted and talented are offered enrichment courses through PEAC (Primary Extension and Challenge).
