Kinross Primary School Competitors

Many current students have followed their parents and grandparents in attending the school. Students come from families where learning and education are highly valued and there is strong 'community feel'. The school motto of 'Resilience, Integrity, Initiative, Care' is regularly demonstrated in the actions of the students. High standards of academic achievement and behaviour are attained by most students. All staff are experienced and dedicated, and collaborate to focus on student improvement through the use of evidence-based, reflective practices and an informed and targeted approach to learning. Specialist Programs are offered in the areas of Italian, Physical Education, Music, Science and Visual Arts. Student Services and Pastoral Care programs support students' academic and social and emotional needs. Children identified as being 'at risk' are managed through a team approach, working in partnership with families and outside agencies, as required. Excelling students are identified and supported at a classroom level and are also nominated for various Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) programs such as: PEAC, Kalamunda Extension Program and School of Instrumental Music. The school enjoys a partnership with schools in the Hills Education Community (HEC) for various curriculum networks, academic and sporting arrangements. Opportunities for students to participate in a variety of supplementary programs including interschool sport, science, spelling, public speaking and the arts exhibitions are offered. All staff work closely with our parents, who volunteer and assist in a range of activities throughout the year. The school enjoys the support and involvement of a well-informed and pro-active School Council, and a committed group of parents who form the P & C. Our School
