Lesmurdie Primary School

At Lesmurdie Primary School, our Vision is for every student to approach learning with purpose, curiosity and optimism - and our STEM program brings this vision to life every day. Through engaging, hands-on learning in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, students are supported to explore, question, problem-solve and innovate in ways that are both meaningful and exciting. 

STEM at Lesmurdie is more than just a collection of subjects — it’s a dynamic and integrated approach to learning that encourages students to think critically, act creatively, and collaborate effectively. It reflects our Mission to provide a respectful, safe and inclusive environment that empowers our children to grow into young people who can make a positive difference in the world through their engagement, action and contribution.

We are proud of our long-standing record of excellence in STEM, having previously earned multiple awards in the STAWA Science Talent Search and Science IQ Competitions. Our unique bushland setting in the Perth Hills provides a rich learning environment where students develop a strong connection to nature. Activities like building cubbies in the bush encourage creativity, environmental awareness, and the development of engineering and problem-solving skills in a natural and engaging way.

Our early childhood learners arrive full of questions and wonder — and we nurture that natural curiosity through intentional play-based learning. Purposefully designed investigation centres and outdoor play areas encourage children to explore how things work, ask questions, and make discoveries. As students progress through the school, they continue to grow as capable and engaged learners through opportunities that emphasise inquiry, analysis, creativity and innovation.

A highlight of our STEM calendar is the Bibbulmun STEM Showcase, where students tackle authentic challenges involving robotics and coding using LEGO EV3 and Sphero robots. Senior students also participate in exciting practical competitions such as the Solar Boat Challenge and Le Mons Go Kart Competition, which promote real-world STEM learning through teamwork, communication, resilience and reflection.
