| Redcliffe Primary School prides itself as being the only fully Integrated Curriculum School in the State offering students choice of programs which emanate from the Literacy and Numeracy programs. These programs include Catering, Specialised Sport, Contemporary Dance, Media, Art & Design and The Performing Arts. Students and parents select programs and courses which the school has in place as vehicles for an outcomes based curriculum. All the specialised programs are in MAGS (multi-aged groupings) which supports the Inclusive and Students at Educational Risk values of the school whereby students support one another and enjoy an individual approach from teachers. Staff and students have performed in many plays and displays in the school neighbourhood. The Hip Hop dance group performed as supporting act to Mercury 4, (an all boy pop group from Melbourne). The Integrated Curriculum and the innovation of MAGS groups provided the school with the basis to expand on the Behaviour Management Policy of the school to the extent that a much more positive approach has led to an enjoyable level of cooperation and care among the student body. The school, together with local businesses and the Perth Airport undertook a conversion and renovation of an old building. The purpose of this enterprise was to create a Performing Arts Centre. Support form parents, students, the local community and local businesses resulted in the grand opening of a very valuable facility for the school. The Minister of Education assisted with the presentation of funding to furbish the Centre with state of the art air-conditioning. Senior citizens can now also enjoy performances by the students in the theatre. The school was built in 1958 and represents building of that time with the added distinction of having additions which blend in well with the 'city living country style' atmosphere of this small community. With the development of the Great Eastern Highway the socio-economic nature of the area has changed, resulting in an influx of young people into apartment style living. | ||||

| An excellent curriculum with a wide variety of very interesting programs. Staff really care and look after the kids. It is an old 100 year old school with state of the art 21st century teaching and IT equipment. | Needs a paint uplift and the oval suffers from neglect in hot weather. | A top school with great results. My kids love going to this school and parents has easy access to the administration. Top School! | ||

| Innovation, highly motivated kids and teachers. Teachers really care and the kids enjoy being respected. Quality leadership and teaching program | The buildings are a bit old except for the brand new library. The only school with its own theatre! | A great school for bringing kids up as well rounded and educated citizens | ||

| I went to this primary school from 1977 to 1983. It was a fantastic school back then. We were known as the Redcliffe Roadrunners and I have many fond memories of back then and the great teachers and headmasters we had at the school. (I think i remember most of them too!!) It only had 7 classrooms and a library back then and now look at it!! I am trying to find a place to buy in the area as I would like to send my 2 boys to Redcliffe. | no bad thoughts | I am hoping its still a great school | ||
