Nicole Woodward teaches Indonesian to our year 3 to 6 students at Success PS. In the Language classroom, we learn to speak Indonesian with the help of iPad apps, as well as more traditional language learning techniques! We also make good use of the WA Curriculum programme “Ketawa”, which looks at various aspects of Indonesian culture as well as intensive language learning.
As one of the world’s largest nations, and of course our closest geographical neighbour, Indonesia is a fascinating and varied country. It is hoped that by studying the language at an early age, we will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of the country beyond the beaches of Bali.

At Success Primary School, our Visual Arts program is proudly aligned with the Western Australian SCSA curriculum and committed to providing an inclusive, inspiring, and skill-building arts education for all students from Pre-primary to Year 6. We believe that every child should have equitable access to high-quality materials, diverse artistic experiences, and the opportunity to express their creativity in meaningful ways.
Our program is designed to follow student interests while nurturing a lifelong love and appreciation of visual arts. Through developmentally appropriate projects, students build foundational skills, explore processes, and come to understand that artistic growth is a continuous journey, one that deepens through time, effort, and reflection. Whether discovering colour mixing in early years or exploring composition and media in upper primary, students are encouraged to take creative risks, celebrate originality, and recognise the value of artistic practice in everyday life.
