VISION: At Balcatta Senior High School we are
committed to learning together in a safe community with pride and mutual
respect to achieve excellence for all. We strive to help our students be the best people they can be.
Balcatta Senior High School is a multicultural learning
community. The learning environment is vibrant and nurtures its students to excel in academic, sporting, cultural,
community and leadership roles.
Balcatta Senior High School, situated in Perth's northern
suburbs, is dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in all learning areas.
We offer a full range of subjects across all learning areas
and provide specialist programs in Art, Dance and Graphic Art. We also have an
excellent soccer program.
The school has a strong reputation for its Gifted &
Talented Visual Arts program which is part of the Department of Education’s
Gifted and Talented Education Program, an elite education curriculum which
helps gifted and talented students to excel in the Arts.
Learning Technologies have become everyday teaching tools
used by both teachers and students and continues to play an increasingly
important role in all aspects of the school’s learning and teaching
programs. The school is well equipped with its network, including wireless access to the internet.
In 2009 we will be introducing a One – to – One Laptop Program.
Our dedicated teaching staff and excellent facilities
support students for successful entry to university, TAFE and other vocational
programs or employment. A personalised learning program is provided for each student which incorporates an individual
career planning portfolio, extension or remediation programs, leadership
development and extensive academic counselling.
Strong support for students and families allows students to
develop into competent, confident and caring young adults able to take their
place in the community. |
