Welcome

Situated 1.3km north of North Dandalup town site, at the base of the Darling Range, North Dandalup is a small rural school, established in 1900 and steeped in history and tradition.

North Dandalup is ‘A School for Environmental Consciousness’ and has established a number of initiatives in the area of environmental and sustainability education.   This focus has resulted in the school being the recipient of at least 20 state and national awards.

We are also the custodians of our ‘Pathway to Nature’.  This is a protected nature trail on our school site with a rare combination of Kingia australis (local grass trees) and Corymbia calophylla (Marri trees) together.    We have adopted the Kingia australis as our School logo.

The New School Logo...

The school colours have been maintained, and are supported by two extra natural greens which help tell the story.  The new logo still reflects our commitment to the environment incorporating kingie australis, Marri and the escarpment but they have been eveloped to tell the story of the school and the journey it makes possible for students.

1. Central to the icon, depicted in dark gray, is the honky nut (Marri), a sturdy strong consistent presence within its environment, as North Dandalup Primary School is to its students. 

2. Within this shape are yellow seed like graphics representing students being nurtured within this safe natural environment.

3. A representation of the kingie australis flares out around this, the dark green shapes above representing the leaves of the plant, its new growth reaching upwards.   

4. The light green represents the leaf skirt at the base of the plant. Together the green organic leaf shapes also represent the influences that surround a student – their peers, teachers and community – which energise and support their growth.

5. As part of this circle of dynamic, organic, energetic movement are two yellow shapes which mark the escarpment which is always there on the horizon protectively watching over the school.

6. With this support and protection students begin to blossom and reach upwards and outwards to the wider world – like the flowers of the kingia australis – represented by the three yellow shapes at the top of the icon.
