Eddystone Primary School
Perth’s urban sprawl had reached Heathridge in the 1980’s, a beautiful suburb close to the beach and the freeway, which was still snaking out of the city.Eddystone Primary School opened for the start of the 1986 year with over 249 students in all grades from Pre-Primary to Year 7. There was a Principal and two Deputies, who taught classes as well as their admin role. Eleven Teachers taught classes and in specialist role’s, the non-teaching staff included a School Officer, Library Officer, Educations Assistants in the Pre Primary and Mainstream, a Gardener and three Cleaners.The grounds have more open space than most schools as the City of Joondalup’s Littorina Park is an extension of the school oval; this is used in school hours for educational activities and after hours by the community. Situated back off the main road the school buildings originally consisted of two blocks, Rottnest and Leeuwin and an undercover area. In the second year Naturaliste block, the Library and a canteen were added; some year’s later Guilderton block completed the current configuration of the school.
