Assessment & Reporting
Families are provided with comprehensive school reports at the end of each semester, along with various other forms of assessment throughout the year. We believe assessment should always be fair, valid, comprehensive and explicit. Our school reports follow the standard A – E format as required in Western Australian schools.
Attendance/Non-Attendance
The underpinning philosophy is based on creating a school environment where children want to be at school and demand to be on time. This requires an approach that caters for all students and their families and which addresses more than just the academic aspect of education. The school has employed a wide range of strategies designed to raise the awareness of parents of the critical importance of children being on time and at school every day.

Behaviour Management
Our procedure outlines the rights and responsibilities of all students based on respect for self and others. Children need to respect the rights of others and realise that as individuals they are responsible for their actions. All students have the right to learn and develop in a safe environment. This is a responsibility shared by all staff and students. Positive behaviours are affirmed and acknowledged through general teaching practice, an award system and public acknowledgement.
