Small School, Big Experience
Welcome to Moerlina School
Moerlina School celebrates more than 40 years of progressive primary education in the Western Suburbs of Perth. Classes are small, outcomes are high, original thought is valued, persistence is rewarded, play is important, the natural world is central and learning is meaningful in our unique city school.

Julie Bishop visits Moerlina School
A lovely article in The POST newspaper on May 26th, 2018 about MP Julie Bishop’s visit to Moerlina School.
“Moerlina gave me the confidence to follow my natural curiosity and passion for discovery. I was encouraged to explore the natural world – to go out and get amongst it. I credit Moerlina with laying a strong foundation for the critical and creative thought that has been so important to my career.”
Professor Ryan Lister,
UWA and Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, 2014 Frank Fenner Life Scientist of the Year (Prime Minister’s Science Awards)

READ MOREOur approach
At the heart of Moerlina School is a culture of collaboration, support and mutual respect. A sense of security and belonging allows students to take risks in their learning, to challenge themselves and to have high expectations for what they can achieve. Learning goes well beyond the classroom, with students often heading outdoors and off-site to explore new places and experience new things that are relevant to their studies, consolidating and expanding their knowledge and understanding of the world.
