1) As at the Department of Education’s Semester 1, 2017 Student Census, Dunsborough Primary School had an enrolment of 798 Kindergarten to Year 6 students.
2) 2018: 798 projected enrolments 2019: 823 projected enrolments
3) The Department of Education currently uses transportable classrooms to supplement the permanent classroom facilities to manage fluctuations in student enrolments at the school.  Some possible spaces have been identified for accommodating additional transportable classrooms on the school site, if required.  As part of the long-term planning for public schools in the Dunsborough area, the Department has set aside a future primary school site in Dunsborough Lakes.  The requirement for a new school in the Dunsborough area will continue to be reviewed regularly in the context of statewide priorities.
