The Western Australian public school system is a major contributor to the State’s prosperity and growth as a fair society promoting the wellbeing and participation of all its citizens.

Building on Strength: Future directions for the Western Australian public school system is our long term vision for education over the coming decade. This statement explains the thinking and rationale behind the commitments made in our 2020–2024 strategic directions.
It maintains the momentum for improvement and the spirit of Classroom First by taking further action to strengthen support for teaching and learning excellence. This statement re-affirms the need for students and teachers to be at the centre of our efforts over coming years.
For Focus 2021 we resume activities paused in 2020 due to COVID-19 and refocus our work on the priorities we set ourselves in Every student, every classroom, every day. It clearly sets student needs at the centre of everything and maintains our momentum of continuous improvement across six pillars in our strategic directions.
