REPORT OVERVIEW
Each year public schools in Western Australia prepare an Annual Report of the school’s achievements, performance and directions over the year. This document is part of the school’s formal reporting process to the school community. This Annual Report is a summary of student performance, learning programs and highlights of 2018. It also provides an analysis of school performance for the past year which in turn forms the basis for future school strategic planning.
THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY
Mount Pleasant Primary School is situated in the southern Perth metropolitan suburb of Mount Pleasant which has an Index of Community Socio-Economic Educational Advantage (ICSEA) of 1139. In 2018, the school‘s enrolment of 431 included students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
The school was established in 1953 and enjoys strong community support. In 2015, Mount Pleasant Primary School successfully applied to become an Independent School. Governance is directed through a School Board consisting of parents and staff members. An active Parents and Citizens Association supports the school strongly through classroom involvement and fundraising activities, while a volunteer program focuses on the needs of identified individual students.
Through further development of community support and involvement it is intended to continue to enhance the school’s physical environment. Our aim is also to improve and refine policies and procedures across the school ensuring that our students are personally happy, successful and able to make positive contributions to our community. Updated information is available on the school website www.mountpleasantps.wa.edu.au

In 2018 we continued to consolidate planning documents and delivery of the Western Australian Curriculum across the school in the areas of English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities and Social Services, the Arts, Physical Education and Health, Digital and Design Technologies, integrating Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).
