Principal's Welcome

I am proud to be the Principal of Caversham Valley PS and have the opportunity to not only lead the talented and dedicated staff who work here, but also the vibrant families of our community.

As a staff and school we believe that diversity, inclusivity and integrity are our strengths as we strive to develop collaborative relationships with our community.

Our values of Excellence; Inclusivity; High Quality Teaching; Strong Community; and Care will enable us to create a safe environment that fosters student engagement, growth and the pursuit of excellence.

Caversham Valley PS is built on Whadjuk Noongar country. This is being reflected partly through the use of names/words/phrases throughout our school, in particular for our buildings and factions.

The following have been used for our buildings:

  • School Administration       Baldja                                meaning ‘Firmly united’

  • Undercover Assembly      Koorongkoorl Miya         meaning ‘Place of coming together’

  • Library                                     Kaadadjiny Koornt       meaning ‘Place of knowledge’

  • Music room                           Warangka                         meaning ‘Singing’

  • Teaching block 1                 Balga                                  which is a ‘Grasstree’

  • Teaching block 2                 Djaril                                   which is a ‘Jarrah tree’

  • Teaching block 3                 Wornt                                 which is a ‘Tuart tree’

  • Teaching block 4                 Kardan                               which is a ‘Marri tree’

  • Teaching block 5                 Moodjar                              which is a 'Christmas tree'

The following have been used for our factions:

  • Waalitj which is the Eagle (Gold)
  • Kooyar which is the Motor Bike Frog (Green)
  • Yoorn which is the Bobtail lizard (Purple/Royal)
