Forest Crescent Primary School's Vision

At Forest Crescent PS we have a distinctive learning environment providing quality teaching and equitable opportunities for all students to achieve.

We provide support and opportunities for all students to realise their full potential, become lifelong learners, embed resilience and social and emotional skills, to promote positive relationships with the community with a global perspective.

Our Staff values inclusivity, diversity and promotes student success through a wide range of opportunities that enable every child to reach their academic potential and be a good world citizen.

Forest Crescent Primary School: Our Story

2025 is continuing to be a very exciting year for our school as we enter our thirty-seventh year of operation. Our enrolments continue to be strong, starting the year with approximately 669 students. Forest Crescent Primary School is an independent public school operating within the government system and in the locality of Forest Lakes, Thornlie.  The school is a large primary school and is part of a strong community that supports its strategic directions. Our vision of “Success for All” is consistent with our belief that “In Learning We Grow” and builds upon student, staff and parent learning as we move forward as a collective.

Our local demographic is changing, and the staff values the diversity of our students and the inclusive practices employed within the school.

As a school, we have high expectations of our students and staff, which is supported by our school community, which takes pride in “their” school.  We are driven to do our best for our students socially, emotionally and academically. We have embraced BeYou as a School Community, ensuring that students, staff and parents are supported. Early intervention has been one of our school’s key focus areas for many years, with school-based benchmarks and effective relationships with parents.

Our Specialist Programs (Music, Visual Arts, LOTE and Physical Education) have been highly successful over several years and help to define the overall educational experience students receive by attending Forest Crescent. I trust that you will enjoy browsing our Website, which is designed to be more user-friendly and provide parents with up-to-date information about the school and its operations.
