Business Plan
All students are encouraged to aim for excellence and to reach their potential through programs that extend and enrich their learning. Our staff are dedicated professionals who focus on developing your child’s literacy and numeracy skills as well as supporting their social and emotional development through researched and targeted practices.
Our approach to Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) has been carefully researched and implementation is guided by the Teaching and Learning Handbook. Inquiry-based learning practices are being established across many learning areas. Our specialist teachers cater for Science, Italian (LOTE), Health and Physical Education and Music (The Arts). We also offer Visual Art, Humanities and Technologies. Regular and robust assessment of your child’s learning journey helps inform future teaching practices and learning at our school.
Our school leadership program for senior students provides many opportunities for them to develop and display leadership qualities and attributes. These include opportunities to become a Student Councillor, Faction Captain, ICT Technician, Environmental or Library Officers. School leaders are encouraged to be proactive, by individually seeking out leadership opportunities and providing recommendations for new school initiatives at regular meetings.
Annual Report
The Annual Report provides the community and the Executive, Western Australian Department of Education, with important information about the achievements of our school as an Independent Public School, and the analysis and interrogation of data that will inform continual improvement. Copies of the report will be made available to:
- The school community
- All members of the Board and P & C Association
- The Department of Education (DoE).
The Report is a requirement of the DoE but more importantly provides an essential mechanism for us to address our governance and accountability responsibilities, linked to continuous school improvement.
Public School Review
All Western Australian public schools are reviewed every three years by the Department of Education’s Public School Accountability directorate.
A review gives assurance to the local community, the Minister for Education and Training and the Director General that a school is operating effectively and delivering high quality education to its students. The review acknowledges the achievements of the school and gives feedback to support the principal and staff with their improvement planning.
The principal provides the review team with a self-assessment of the school’s performance based on evidence gathered by the principal and staff. Information validated by the review team is considered before and during the school visit. This forms the basis for the school review report. The report is provided to the principal, the chair of the school board/council and the Regional Executive Director.
