REPORT2018Ballajura Primary School

Principal's Message

Ballajura’s recent achievements have come with an incredible amount of hard work,

and I pay credit to our wonderfully dedicated and professional staff who work with

passion and commitment. I thank them all for creating such a positive and dynamic

school and for embracing change with optimism and enthusiasm.

As I reflect on the 2018 school year and of the sum of our experiences, I am full of

hope for what lies ahead. We are part of a school community that genuinely cares

about our children and our collective purpose. We look to a future that embraces

our diversity and the strength that will flow from everybody belonging. We are

inspired by new possibilities and not afraid of the challenges before us. Our school

motto stands strongly before us and we are ever mindful of our shared responsibility

to display ‘Confidence and Pride’ in all that we do.

A Focus on Student Achievement

At Ballajura, actions, programs and decisions are judged by their impact on student

achievement, not merely classroom and school processes. Teachers attention is

focused on standards of achievement expected of students and on monitoring the

progress towards those standards. Teachers use information about achievement to

assist students not meeting benchmarks and extend those working above year level.

In 2018, Ballajura Primary School’s academic performance was again exceptional

with NAPLAN results demonstrating achievement significantly above expected

performance in all tested areas. The longitudinal graphs displayed in this report

demonstrate the consistently excellent performance the school has achieved.

Ballajura - A School of Excellence

2018 saw Ballajura Primary School celebrate its 30th year of educatingchildren. Throughout this time, our school has transformed into being aleader in the delivery of primary education. This milestone was recognisedby the school being invited to take part in the Department of Education’sprestigious WA Centre for Excellence in Explicit Teaching of Literacy. As aresult of our consistent, outstanding academic performance, we will workwith academics to develop whole system programs that will enhancestudents’ literacy skills across the state.

The Centre will study Ballajura Primary School’s teaching methods and overthe next three years, we will engage in a partnership with Curtin Universityto share our expertise in the teaching of literacy and develop resources sothat other educators can learn from our exemplary practices.

Through our daily teaching, our message is strong andexplicit in how we interact with one another, in what we value, in theconfidence we inspire, and in the belief we have that we can make a differencefor every child.

Priorities and Outcomes

I again must congratulate the staff on their dedication and commitment to highquality teaching practice and passion for ensuring that every child can becomeacademically successful.

Ballajura Primary School’s NAPLAN raw score performance hasimproved every year since 2008. However, an increasing Index ofCommunity Social Educational Advantage (ICSEA) rating has made itchallenging for the school to achieve further recognition due to theratings weighting in increasing academic performance expectations.

The graphs overleaf demonstrate the value adding of studentperformance from Year 3 to 5 in the years 2015 to 2017 and 2016 to2018. The Value Adding Scale provides a performance insight into whatinfluence the teaching and learning process is having on studentacademic progress in comparison to similar academically performingschools. Achievement beyond that of other schools, confirms thestrategic implementation of staff training, delivery, curriculum and theallocation of physical and human resources is having the desired effect.

As demonstrated overleaf, academic results in reading, writing andnumeracy (source: MySchool Website), clearly indicate that students atBallajura Primary have made significant academic progress in the yearsbetween Year 3 and Year 5 when compared to similar schools (blue),and expected performance of students across Australia (black). Thestudents at Ballajura (as indicated by the red line), are clearly workingwell above expected performance and in some cases, significantlyabove year level expectations.

Note: Students not meeting the minimum requirement of Band 8 inYear 9 NAPLAN, will be required to sit the Online Literacy andNumeracy Assessment (OLNA). The graphs overleaf indicate that manyof the Year 5 students at Ballajura Primary are currently achievingBand 7; just shy of the expected Year 9 requirement.

Raising Academic Standards


Throughout 2018, the administration team with support from coaches and

phase leaders, have implemented a range of strategies to support staff in the

ongoing attainment of skills, knowledge and experiences to foster high quality

teaching and learning. These processes have ensured all staff have an

understanding of the teaching model at Ballajura Primary School. Through

coaching and professional learning opportunities, teachers have continued to

refine their lessons that explicitly teach year level content to all students. Staff

also participate in class audits, performance management and collaborative

year level meetings where they reflect on teaching delivery and receive

feedback on their teaching practice.

Other highlights include:

• Teachers continue to be active in taking responsibility for changes in the

practice required to achieve school performance targets and use data on a

regular basis to monitor the effectiveness of their efforts in assisting

students to meet identified academic performance targets. Data from

benchmark monitoring, NAPLAN and Progressive Achievement Tests (PAT),

are used to identify gaps in student learning and monitor progress over time

and across the years of schooling.

• Staff participate in professional development focusing on reading

comprehension, writing, the ‘Reading Hierarchy’, inquiry learning and

Blooms Taxonomy. Maths professional learning and writing moderation for

Year 6 teachers is coordinated as part of the Ballandjarra Network

professional learning program.

• In 2018, Staff have been provided with high quality professional ICT learning

opportunities, including coaching and mentoring to advance their skills and

knowledge and integrate IPADs across the curriculum.

Strengthening Early Child Education

2016 School of The Year Finalist

At Ballajura Primary School, we recognise the importance of earlyyears education.

In strengthening education in the early years the following initiativeshave been implemented.

• Students in Kindergarten and Pre Primary are screened in literacyas a means of early intervention and identification of educationalrisk. Resources are allocated to identify and respond appropriatelyto the learning needs of all students. Identified students aremonitored and engage in programs such as Prelit, Minilit andreading intervention.

• Increased creative play opportunities are implemented as part ofan outdoor education program inclusive of learning centres.

• Department of Education Online Entry Assessments areadministered annually to Pre Primary students. The assessmentprovides teachers with an opportunity to collect information onthe essential literacy and numeracy skills, and understandings ofeach student. Using the information gathered, teachers developtargeted teaching and learning programs that cater for groups ofstudents and also support the needs of individual students;particularly those at educational, emotional or social risk. Studentperformance information is analysed to assess strengths, areas ofimprovement and the monitoring of longitudinal data todetermine the effectiveness of our Kindergarten programs.


Ballajura Primary school continues to build and sustain quality relationshipsand partnerships with the school community to ensure the promotion of aculture of shared responsibility in the education of students. Families atBallajura are welcomed and encouraged to become involved in the schooland in their children’s learning. Growth, respect, opportunity andengagement are fundamental in all partnerships and these qualities aredemonstrated prioritised in all interactions and communications.

Parents are vital partners in the education of our students. They providevaluable help and support through the P&C, in the operation of the school’scanteen, uniform shop and fundraising activities. Our School Board is also anactive and knowledgeable group who represent the views of our parentsand community.

2018 Highlights

• A new initiative for 2018 was the implementation of 1 x morning and 1 xevening P&C meeting per term. The introduction of a morning meetinghas resulted in a wider audience of parents attending P&C meetings. Theadministration team attended all P&C meetings and provided parentswith an update on the progress of curriculum implementation. P&Cmeetings are well attended with an average 25 parents at each meeting.
