Westgrove Primary Schools Intention, Vision and Values

Our intent at Westgrove Primary School is for our students to have the skills needed to participate in society in a meaningful way, which are articulated in our school vision and values. This is significant because many of our students need real life skills in order to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage and take full advantage of what is on offer.

Vision

Westgrove Primary School is a safe, inclusive and supportive community that empowers students with the tools to reach their individual potential.

Values

At Westgrove Primary School we are a diverse community who value Respect, Inclusion, Learning and Safety. These values underpin our decision making and guide the behaviours of all members of our school community.

The school motto 'Together We Grow' underpins the core aim of working together to build a purposeful learning community.

Teaching and Learning

At Westgrove Primary School our instructional model is based on the Workshop Model, which has the Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) embedded within it. Over the last few years, the school has focused significantly on improving outcomes in reading.



This encompassed improving teacher understanding and instruction and increased student and community engagement. This narrow focus saw improved results in this area. In the last three years our school has focused to improving our practice and results in Mathematics.

All teaching staff are active participants in high functioning Professional Learning Communities (PLC), which operate in bands across the school. The PLCs support our staff in taking collective responsibility for all students. More recently the PLC focus has been on improving teacher knowledge and trying new practices to improve student learning whilst building teacher capacity in Mathematics and Inclusive Classroom practices.

Our specialist program includes PE, Italian, STEM, Visual Arts and Performing Arts and Cultural Studies. Additionally, we have an EAL specialist teacher and intervention teacher/s who support those at risk in either English or Mathematics or stretching those students working well above the expected level.

The school also integrates the latest technology as a tool to support learning, including iPads, laptops and a range of STEM resources. Interactive whiteboards and LCD screens are available throughout the learning spaces.

Engagement, Wellbeing and Inclusion

The School Wide Positive Behaviour Support (SWPBS) initiative combined with the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM) underpin our approach to wellbeing.




The school community has a strong focus on explicitly teaching students the expected behaviours and attitudes aligned with our school values. We are committed to improving student attendance rates and have sound strategies in place for tracking and the follow up of student absences.

Our students have a range of leadership opportunities which include our formal leadership position (School Captaincy, House Leaders and Student Voice Leaders) and our Better Buddies and Community Service programs.

In 2026, our school is in its fourth year of implementation of the Disability Inclusion model, as well as the commencement of a part-time Family Support Worker

Facilities

Our grounds have three designated play equipment areas, a synthetic sports area, a gymnasium, well-resourced library, daily canteen and well furbished classroom buildings. In addition, we have a swimming pool on school grounds, which we are in a joint use agreement with Paul Sadler Swimland. Our students regularly access swimming programs as do several local schools who hire the facility. We are proud of the Indigenous garden we have established in recent years. It includes a meeting place, a culturally significant sculpture and planting as well as signage which has been created by our Indigenous student population. In 2026, Westgrove Kindergarten has opened on our school site, which is managed by BPA Children Services.
