A Great Place to Learn and Grow

A Great Place to Learn and Grow

Hilton Primary is an Independent Public School, established in 1950 and still flourishing after more than 70 years in our vibrant community. Initially, our school was known as Hilton Park Primary School. Located five kilometres from central Fremantle, we treasure our beautiful natural and managed landscapes. We appreciate that our enhanced physical environment, provides authentic teaching and learning experiences for all of our students, Kindergarten to Year 6.

Hilton Primary School has a long and respectful association with Noongar culture. We acknowledge that our school is on Wadjuk Noongar Boodja and that we are the current custodians of this land, to be shared with all who come here. We acknowledge the richness of Wadjuk Noongar culture and the significance of First Nations people in the past, present and future. We strive to walk the journey of Reconciliation with First Nations people and continue to respect the contributions of Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people to the education of students, staff and families at Hilton Primary School.

Every child’s learning is nurtured every day.

During 2025 we developed our Improvement Framework for Sustained Excellence at Hilton Primary School.  

Hilton Primary School’s 2026–2028 Business Plan outlines our commitment to “sustained excellence” and a strong, positive culture that supports every student, staff member, and family. Our plan focuses on high quality teaching, a safe and inclusive learning environment, and strong community partnerships.

Our Culture & Values

We work together to create a school where everyone feels respected, supported, and heard. Staff have agreed on shared expectations to ensure the best outcomes for students and the wider community. Key values include:

• Clear Vision – A shared purpose with transparent communication and strong support for staff.
• Honesty & Integrity – A safe, respectful workplace built on trust.
• Collaboration – Teamwork where all voices matter, not just “the loudest”.
• A Voice for Everyone – Equity, consistency, and opportunities for all to contribute.
• Professional Learning – Ongoing feedback and growth for staff.
• Respectful Relationships – Positive, proactive relationships across staff, students, parents, and community.

Each day, from Kindergarten to Year 6, we continue to strive for excellence in teaching and learning. We nurture positive partnerships with our families and community. We have a focus on explicit teaching, so that Hilton Primary School is “a great place to learn and grow.”

We highly value the diversity of our school and community. In addition to the 12% of students who identify as First Nations people, we have significant numbers of French and German families. Our youngest children enjoy German, French and English speaking Play Groups, affiliated with Playgroups WA.

Our very supportive families work with our staff through our Parents and Citizens Association, our School Board, our Grounds Committee and as Class Representatives. We have recently welcomed new Hilton PS Board members to provide diverse input to the Governance of our school.
