Community Pool
Subiaco Primary is incredibly lucky to have its own pool on the grounds. It is used by the school for swimming lessons, interschool squad training, swimming carnivals and for class parties in the hotter months.
We are very fortunate to have the City of Subiaco provide support for our school pool by way of a community partnership agreement. This support allows us to maintain a healthy, safe and welcoming pool that is available to both the school and broader Subiaco community.
The School Pool is proudly supported by the City of Subiaco.
Wondering what to do with kids on a hot Perth summer’s day?
Subiaco Primary School is very fortunate to have a beautiful pool on the school grounds.
Thanks to the Subiaco Primary School Parents & Citizens Association (P&C), school families and general community members are also able to enjoy this wonderful facility outside of school hours!
An amazing team of P&C parent & carer volunteers operates this service and the P&C funds this from your P&C Voluntary Contributions, the sale of pool passes and the generous sponsorship of the City of Subiaco.
The pool is open every day after school, on weekends and over the summer holidays during pool operating hours from November to March (apart from public holidays) – almost 4 months of summer fun!
It is the perfect place to cool down with the kids over the hot summer months with shaded lawn and gardens, BBQ facilities and a Royal Lifesaving Guard on duty at all times.
How to buy a Pool Pass
Purchase a Family Season Pass or a 10 Visit Pack online or at the School Uniform Shop.
Online orders will take up to 3 business days to process and can be collected from the Lifeguard at the pool. Lifeguards are not able to grant entry to the pool without a physical membership card or pass.

Can I cancel my party?
In the event of inclement weather, your booking can be rescheduled in consultation with the pool coordinators. Please provide at least 48 hours advance notice of your intention to reschedule. Please email pool@subiprimarypc.com.au.

You will have access to male and female toilets and change rooms, as well as showering facilities.
What pool toys are available and can I bring my own?
The pool is equipped with pool noodles and boogie boards. If you would like to bring inflatable toys from home, you may. Please note, the use of inflatable slides is not permitted.
Do you have BBQ facilities?
Yes, we have two gas powered BBQ’s for use. You are not required to provide the gas bottles, but you will be required to clean the BBQ’s upon your departure.
Can I bring my own food?
Yes! Please note, there are no refrigeration facilities at the pool – so if you require food and drinks to be kept cold, please bring along your own esky with ice. Please note that you will be required to dispose of all rubbish upon your departure.
Can I bring my own music?
Yes! The pool has a speaker system that is connected to an iPod with a pre-loaded party play list. If you’d like to listen to your own tunes, you can connect your device to our speaker system, or bring your own portable speaker from home.

The pool is an alcohol free zone. Alcohol must not be bought or consumed anywhere in the pool area.
How many people can I invite to my party?
Heaps! As long as the maximum number of users in the pool at any one time does not exceed 57.
What happens if I arrive at my booking time, and the lifeguard isn’t there?
In the unlikely event of this occurring, please contact pool coordinators Narissa Perks on 0402 187 664 or Caro Bell on 0415 707 378.
I’ve booked my party until 1:00pm, when the pool opens to members of the public. Can we remain at the pool?
You are welcome to remain at the pool as long as all your party belongings are packed away and do not interfere with member’s use. You also need to ensure that the BBQ’s are cleaned and returned to the storage shed.
Can I book a party during normal pool opening hours?
Our pool is coordinated by parent volunteers. Running a pool is costly, and we rely on income generated from memberships and party bookings to remain operational. In fairness to others who have booked and paid for their party, you are unable to host a party during normal operating hours.
Do I need to supervise the children?
Yes. The presence of the lifeguard does not absolve your need to supervise the children. Children under 12 years of age must be accompanied by and supervised in the pool area at all times by an adult. Vigilant supervision of young children and those who are not water competent is a strict requirement for the supervising adult, who has the primary duty of care. If you are coordinating a ‘drop and run’ party, please be aware of these supervision requirements.
