The Excelsior Way
Respect, Relationships, Responsibilities and Reach for the stars.
Excelsior Primary School is an Independent Public School located in the suburb of Canning Vale, educating from Kindergarten to Year 6.
We are a proudly multicultural school community that values excellence, inclusivity and innovative thinking. Our students and families come from a rich variety of cultural backgrounds which contributes to the welcoming and connected environment that makes Excelsior Primary School unique.
At Excelsior, we are committed to developing the whole child by providing opportunities for students to excel academically, socially, creatively and emotionally. Guided by our school motto — Excite, Explore, Excel — and our whole school ethos, The Excelsior Way, we foster a safe, supportive and engaging learning environment where every student is encouraged to, ‘Reach for the Stars.’
Our dedicated staff believe that “Every Moment Matters, Every Student Counts.” Through high quality teaching, strong relationships and meaningful partnerships with families and the wider community, we empower students to become confident, resilient and successful learners.
Our Key Objectives
Excellence in Teaching and Learning
We are committed to delivering high quality, evidence-informed teaching practices that support every student to achieve year-on-year growth. Through data-informed planning, targeted interventions, explicit teaching and high impact instructional strategies, we create engaging learning experiences that maximise student achievement and progress.
Excellence in Leadership
We foster a connected leadership culture that empowers staff and students to develop leadership capacity, agency and voice. Through collaboration, self-reflection and continuous improvement, we build a strong professional learning community focused on achieving the best outcomes for all students.
Excellence in the Learning Environment
We provide a safe, inclusive and culturally responsive learning environment where every student feels valued, supported and inspired to succeed. Through Positive Behaviour Support (WAPBS), wellbeing initiatives and strong school expectations, we nurture resilience, engagement and positive relationships across our school community.
Excellence in Community Relationships and Partnerships
We value strong partnerships with families, community groups and external agencies to support student wellbeing, achievement and engagement. By working collaboratively with our diverse community, we create meaningful opportunities that strengthen connections and enrich learning experiences for all students.
Developing Successful Learners
We empower students to become reflective, resilient and independent learners through the development of the Excelsior Successful Learner Attributes. Students are encouraged to set goals, think critically, demonstrate growth mindset and take responsibility for their learning as they strive to reach their full potential.
