As our communities grow, so do our schools
The Business Development Team monitors and analyses local area demographics and population forecasts for the acquisition of land for future school sites, prioritisation of new schools, rebuilds and renovations to existing schools, as well as the creation of additional enrolment places to accommodate increased demand.
An Inclusive Education for All
In the past 15 years there have been:
- 4 new primary schools
- 1 new secondary school
- 3 new CARE schools
- 4 new composite (Kindergarten to Year 12) schools
- 1 new Early Learning and Care Centre
With infill and new residential developments, suburbs go through periods of population change which can require additional student places at existing schools to accommodate the increased demand. These decisions are taken at a strategic level and Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia monitors enrolment trends in all areas, looks for patterns and works in consultation with all schools within growth areas to devise the best plan to accommodate students.
We predict further sustained growth in the Greater Perth region and are continually monitoring growth throughout the whole of Western Australia.
