Rocket Cars
Our Year 4 students participated in a very exciting Rocket Car Excursion!
They got a little wet but I’m sure they will all agree it was worth it. Our under cover area was full of laughter and cheers all day as each student had their turn to launch their rocket car.

Primary Extension and Challenge (PEAC)
TESTING OF YEAR 4 STUDENTS FOR THE PEAC PROGRAM
The PEAC Program provides part-time extension and enrichment for exceptionally able students in Years 5 and 6.
PEAC offers a range of courses that provide identified students with work that is intellectually challenging.
All Year 4 students in public schools across Western Australia will have the opportunity to be assessed for suitability for the PEAC Program.
Testing for all Year 4 students will occur on Tuesday 30th July.
The scores from the test will be used in the selection of students for PEAC courses and the school’s BRACE program in 2025.
If you do not wish your child to be included in the PEAC Testing, please email meghan.griffiths@education.wa.edu.au
If you require more information about the PEAC test, please contact your child’s teacher.
Apply now to enrol your child in 2025
Application for new enrolments in the 2025 school year is now open and should be made by Friday 19th July 2024. Enrolment Application forms can be found on our website or collected from School Reception.
You will need to apply to enrol for 2025 if:
- Your child is starting Kindergarten in 2025 (Born 1st July 2020 - 30th June 2021)
- If your child, is already attending the Burrendah Primary School Kindergarten in 2024 and you live outside the school intake boundary, you will need to re-enrol your child for Pre-primary 2025.
All other children do not need to enrol. We assume all our students are coming back to Burrendah in 2025, unless we are informed otherwise. Please inform Reception, by email at burrendah.ps@education.wa.edu.au if your children will not be attending Burrendah Primary School in 2025.
