Tapping Primary School

Melbourne School introduces Tapping Primary School in Tapping, for all your education and learning needs.

Tapping Primary School is located in the metropolitan area 30km north of the City of Perth. The school opened in 2007 and became an Independent Public School in 2013. We have developed a strong reputation within the community as a school that focuses on the social and emotional needs of all students. Using the “Play is the Way” (PITW) philosophy our aim is to raise children considerate of themselves, others and the world in which they live, with sound reasons for the things they say and do. Central to our goal is the development of positive interpersonal skills, self-control, self-motivation and reflective thinking by raising empathy levels and providing opportunities to enact virtuous behaviour and tolerance towards others.

Tapping Primary School is committed to developing Behaviour Education and Self-Management (BESM). We embrace a values based approach to education and this underpins our culture. We see BESM as a responsibility of the entire school community. Students, parents and teachers need to have a clear understanding of what is expected in regards to how we treat each other, to ensure a welcoming learning environment that is supportive and safe and is conducive to learning.

At Tapping PS we believe it is the quality of the teacher that is the critical factor in ensuring positive outcomes for all students. Teachers at Tapping PS are skilled in developing strong working relationships with students and parents. It is the strength of these relationships that give students the confidence to work effectively with others to achieve their personal best.
