Learning Enrichment

East Claremont Primary School is committed to ensuring that each child is given the opportunity to develop to his or her full potential. To achieve this, various programs may be used to optimise the child's learning experience.

PRAC Students

PEAC (Primary Extension and Challenge)

PEAC is an integral part of education for the academically talented in WA primary schools. It provides an opportunity for the most talented in specific areas to come together with their peers. Its aim is to promote the development of outstanding potential to the highest levels of achievement and excellent and develop a positive attitude towards education.

Selected children attend PEAC classes at selected out-of-school venues once a week for extension learning activities that will benefit their education but which are often not available in the normal school program.

School Student Services

The West Coast Education District provides specialist student support to schools in the areas of counselling and educational psychology to help improve the learning outcomes of the students, especially those experiencing learning difficulties. Each school has a contact psychologist who maintains regular contact and provides most of the services required.

Student Services personnel assist schools in the areas of student learning, behaviour and counselling. They may become involved in tasks such as:

  • Individual student learning assessments;
  • Student counselling
  • Conducting student programs for transition, study techniques or social skills;
  • Conducting teacher development programs;
  • Parent counselling on education;
  • Assisting schools to develop whole-school strategies on learning or behaviour issues.

Students may be referred by staff, in consultation with parents or by parents. Contact should initially be made with class teachers or the principal.

Students at Educational Risk (SAER)

Students at Educational Risk are defined as those:

  • Who are at risk of not achieving the major learning outcomes
  • Whose achievement level, rate of progress or behaviour differs noticeably from past performance and/or that of their peers
  • Who are under performing
  • Who are not engaged in their schooling.

Planning for improvement occurs as a result of identification and continual monitoring of the student's progress and needs and adapting goals and programs accordingly.
