The educational philosophy of John Butler Primary College places strong emphasis on the basic skills of literacy and numeracy. Strong literacy and numeracy skills enable students to gain further knowledge through research and inquiry based learning. John Butler Primary College believe that students need to become independent learners who are able to meet all new learning experiences with confidence.
The classroom teachers are responsible for planning and implementing challenging academic programs with the emphasis on the individual child and their specific needs. Teachers plan using the West Australian Curriculum for Pre-primary to Year 6. Through the Kindergarten Curriculum Guidelines, incorporating the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), we believe that building upon children’s experiences and prior knowledge provides the best foundation for learning in early childhood.
Students at John Butler Primary College are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, always endeavouring to apply maximum effort to each learning experience.
At John Butler Primary College we provide a high quality comprehensive curriculum that aligns with the Western Australian Curriculum.
