Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School was established in 1977 by the Loreto Sisters and is located in Kelmscott. The school is a part double stream co-educational primary school (K-6). The school recently developed a five year Strategic Plan (2008 - 2012) with a focus on effective faith formation, education, pastoral care and management. The Religious Education program provides opportunity for liturgical celebrations and support for the sacramental program. As part of the ongoing mission of the Church, Good Shepherd sees the importance of Evangelisation. Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School was part of the first intake of Raising Achievement In Schools (RAISe). In 2010 the focus for all classes will be numeracy with the introduction of Extending Mathematical Understanding (EMU). The school offers a comprehensive educational program including specialist areas of: Music, Wellness and Languages (Italian). Incursions, camps and excursions enhance the child's learning and social development. The school identifies the importance of parental involvement through an active 'Parent Group' with their role being a well balanced mix of public relations and fundraising. The school is supported and enriched by a cooperative school board.
