Our purpose is to become a school of excellence, to empower students to reach their potential and strive for academic success, to Stand Tall in the face of life's challenges, to successfully contribute to society and to find purpose, meaning and happiness in life.

Classrooms are designed to promote collaborative practices. Students in each block have access to a range of ICT such as interactive boards in each classroom, iPads and laptops. Our students across Pre-primary to Year 6 engage in a range of specialist classes including Visual Arts, Music, Science, Languages: Noongar and Physical Education. We have embedded sustainable practises into the school and are proud to be a Waste Wise school.
Beeliar PS is a school of choice in the community and aspires to become a school of excellence, excellence in academic performance, excellence in behaviour, excellence in culture and excellence in our reputation in the community. Through reflection and a strong school improvement plan, we focus on building teacher capacity and working in collaborative high performing teams. In order for students to achieve their learning potential they need to have effective teachers who know what and how to teach. We believe that high quality teaching is achievable in every classroom, for every child, every day. By embedding whole connected practices and explicit instructional pedagogy our mission is to ensure every child achieves year on year progress.
Our focus has been on developing and building teacher capacity so that every classroom has effective lesson delivery. We have focused on embedding consistent and effective instructional strategies with our implementation of Explicit Direct Instruction (EDI) and Visible Learning supporting our staff to know how effective teachers teach. We have developed scope and sequences in English and Mathematics, so we know what to teach. Our Allied Professionals work as additional educators in the classroom to support all students to achieve their potential through targeted intervention and support.
