Strategic Plan
Curriculum Plan
Leschenault Catholic Primary School is a double-stream co-educational school located in Australind, 160km from Perth, in the beautiful southwest of our state. We currently have 489 students enrolled from Pre-Kindergarten to Year Six. Our school has an ICSEA value of 1041 and an SES score of 98.
Leschenault is a C.H.R.I.S.T centred community that inspires every individual to think, to learn & to strive for academic excellence. These values underpin and guide everything that we do. We value every student and encourage each person to be the best they can.
Our school improvement journey is guided by current research into best teaching practices. We have a School Improvement Team who oversees the teaching programs to ensure we have fidelity across the year levels. We use a variety of sources to monitor and track student progress aiming for a minimum of one year’s growth for each student in each year of their schooling. Staff have a growth mindset and continually analyse data and use this to inform their teaching and to evaluate the success of programs. Feedback is considered integral to the learning process for staff and students.
The seamless integration of digital technologies in daily practice is an ongoing focus for us. We have the commitment to cater for and support students with a range of special needs within the mainstream classroom through appropriate intervention and enrichment programs. Support in Literacy is a priority across the school
School Performance Information
Leschenault Catholic Primary School is a double-stream school catering for 456 students from pre-kindergarten to Year Six. We are a C.H.R.I.S.T centred community that inspires every individual to think, learn and strive for academic excellence. These values underpin and guide everything we do. We value every student and encourage each person to be the best they can be. We want our children to be resilient problem solvers, effective communicators, collaborators and creative thinkers equipped with skills to face future challenges.
As a school, we embrace many of the elements of Walker Learning in the Early Years and this enables us to continually reflect on the National Quality Standards. We recognise play-based learning as essential to how young children learn and develop.
We have a built strong relationship between the Parish, the school and the wider community. Religious Education Curriculum underpins our school and everything we stand for and enables students to practise their faith within a range of liturgical celebrations.
Senior students participate in ministries focusing on Pastoral, Environmental, Library, Media, and Sporting leadership and are led by the Student Executive. They rotate through the four ministries throughout the school year. We believe it is important that our school leaders have the opportunity to lead our school and become active citizens.
We value sport within our school and encourage everyone to participate as this helps to develop school spirit which is paramount to the life of our community. Our students constantly achieve and encourage one another on and off the field. This is where we often see the Spirit of Jesus present in our community.
From Year 1 to Year 6 our students are immersed in the Indonesian culture and language.
