East Beechboro PS has been an Independent Public School since 2011 and is highly respected throughout the community. Situated within the City of Swan, East Beechboro PS caters for the educational needs of approximately 450 students from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our student population is inclusive of many cultural backgrounds as well as students with special needs.
Our staff of professional educators, support staff and school community, all of whom recognise parents as prime educators, care for these children and work with a shared vision to establish a learning environment that provides a well-balanced education which maximises student emotional, social and academic outcomes. We have a shared commitment to the importance of quality relationships, upon which a safe, dynamic, happy and productive learning environment is maintained.
The belief that underlies school operations is that by working together in a partnership of mutual respect and purpose we can optimise learning and child development. Teaching and learning is based on educational best practice where knowledge is communicated to all stakeholders, working with a clear vision of priorities and the needs of all. Our school has established whole school practices in all areas of literacy and is working on a whole school approach to numeracy.
