The Building Inclusive Classrooms (BIC) professional learning program is a strategy to support schools in the development of inclusive school cultures in a collaborative teaching and learning environment for students with disabilities and learning needs.

The Building Inclusive Schools (BIS) Strategy commenced in May 2002. The aim of the initiative has been to raise awareness across all levels of the education system of changing societal expectations in relation to the education of students with disabilities and the legal imperatives that now impact on our schools. The BIS Strategy is a professional learning program that promotes and supports the cultural shift of inclusive educational practices in all public schools.

Schools Plus provides supplementary resources to Western Australian public schools that have eligible students. These students may require significant and often ongoing teaching and learning adjustments to ensure that educational outcomes are achieved.

Students at educational risk are those students who may be at risk of not achieving the major learning outcomes of schooling which enable them to achieve their potential.
