The Western Australian Curriculum is the basis for leaching and learning at Booragoon Primary School along with a commitment from all staff to offer students a broad and balanced curriculum that is embedded in our contemporary learning environment.
The Booragoon Way ensures that students are engaged in learning to achieve their personal best in a safe and inclusive environment.  Our use of modern technologies as a tool for learning engages our students.  By understanding how students learn and identifying their strengths and weaknesses, teachers can make accommodations to cater to the learning needs of all students in their class.

Whole-School Approach to Teaching and Learning

We believe every child can succeed, and we work in partnership with families and the community to ensure each student is supported to reach their full potential—academically, socially, and emotionally. Through evidence-based practices, personalised learning, and a strong culture of care, we aim to empower our students to become confident, capable, and lifelong learners.
