Welcome to West Balcatta Primary School, a dedicated educational institution committed to nurturing the potential of every child in our care. Our school prides itself on providing a warm, caring, and challenging environment where each student is valued as an individual. With a focus on explicit teaching of knowledge and skills, we maintain high expectations for student progress, leading to our recent appointment as a Lead School for the Department of Education’s Quality Teaching Strategy.
While academic achievement is paramount, we believe in developing the ‘whole child’ by offering a broad and balanced curriculum that celebrates the cultural diversity of our school community. At West Balcatta Primary School, we not only foster academic success but also provide opportunities for cultural and sporting achievements. Our values program promotes good citizenship, instilling important life skills beyond the classroom.
Under the leadership of Principal Caroline Booth, we acknowledge and respect the Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people as the Traditional Custodians of this land. Our school actively engages with the community through social media and newsletters to keep everyone informed about the latest news, events, programs, and opportunities available to our students. Join us in our mission to make a real difference in the lives of our students at West Balcatta Primary School.
