Business Plan 2024 -2026

Applecross Primary School is a happy and productive place where students, staff and the community work closely together to maintain a vibrant place of learning.  We have a strong tradition of high achievement that is actively pursued by all who are involved in the school. 

The indigenous heritage of the area on which the school stands is recognised and honoured. Information boards have been installed. The school community acknowledges the strong ties to the land and the significant contribution Aboriginal people have made to the area.

Our strategic direction and intent is driven by our underlying culture of Excellence in the Community.  Our Motto, Purpose and Values reflect our efforts to provide outstanding educational opportunities for the children and families that choose to become part of the Applecross Community.  Our Business Plan documents our strong commitment to delivering these opportunities.
