During this time Katanning Primary School has also enjoyed considerable growth in student enrolments, from 191 in February 2004 to 274 by the close of 2005. Current student enrolment is 259. As a result Katanning Primary School is now providing a wider range of specialist programs. In 2008 this includes specialist teachers in Health and Physical Education, Science and Italian. Another exciting introduction in 2006 was participation for higher achieving learners in 'Its Mathsademic' and the widely regarded Tournament of the Minds. Breakfast Club, Homework Classes, In-school Tuition support remain strongly valued weekly or daily programs. In 2008 a Inclusivity Coordinator was appointed to support the individual learning needs of students as well as provide curriculum leadership to teachers to meet the diverse needs of modern learners.
