Assemblies at West Busselton Primary School celebrate the successes of our students and recognise those students who are "Believing In Achieving".
Each class hosts one assembly during the year and the host class presents a musical or theatrical performance for the enjoyment of the audience.
Parents/Carers are most welcome to attend the assemblies which are held in the school Undercover Area.

Developing the habit of going to school every day is vitally important so children do not miss out on important ideas and skills they need for future learning. You can help by ensuring your child is on time; providing nutritious meals; making sure they get enough sleep at night; making appointments with doctors, dentists and specialists after school or during school holidays (where possible). It is also important to take family holidays during school holidays and not during term. If your child is unwell and unable to attend school, please let the school know as soon as possible. If they miss a day it is important for you to talk with your child's teacher to find out how you can help them catch up.
