Welcome to our Cable Beach Primary School website. At Cable Beach Primary we work together as a community to create a sense of Mabu Liyan (good feelings/respect) in a safe, inclusive learning environment. Our high-quality teaching and high expectation relationships enable students to achieve their academic potential and develop positive traits that empower them to become valued community members.
Our school is guided by four key pillars:
Curriculum
Through quality teaching and shared practice our staff ensure CBPS students have access to all aspects of the Western Australian Curriculum. Careful implementation of the plan, teach, assess cycle and the consistent delivery of research-based programs ensures our students are provided with a rich and diverse learning environment that supports the success of all. As a school we provide four specialist learning areas that consist of Visual Art, Music, Physical Education, Yawuru, Health and Science. These subjects provide students with access to specialist knowledge and enhance our student’s weekly learning experience.
Care
Student wellbeing and a sense of belonging are pivotal to a positive school community and as a team we provide supports and frameworks that ensure our school days run smoothly. Our whole school PBS approach ensures shared language and expectations relating to appropriate behaviour and are encapsulated in the core values of: Be Safe, Be A Learner, Be Resilient and Strong, Be Respectful and Be Your Best. As well as this, we deploy our resources strategically to provide targeted support that sets all our students up for success.
Connection
Being connected to each other and our wider community ensures that we are all working together to improve the opportunities for all students. Regular communication with parents and consultation with key stakeholders such as our P&C and School Board ensure we are representing the social, emotional, and academic aspirations of our community and through quality relationships we can support families in meeting the needs of the whole child. Collaboration and shared practice ensure a safe and positive learning environment for all our students and enables them to achieve their full academic potential.
Culture
As a school we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land upon which we live, learn and play and we recognise their influence through our whole school Yawuru program. This program not only teaches students Yawuru language, but also provides an understanding of the rich and powerful culture that has always existed in Broome (Rubibi) and gives all students a much greater understanding of the country upon which they live. This, coupled with a commitment to fostering an inclusive and respectful school culture that values and integrates the diverse cultural backgrounds of all students embodies a positive school culture that celebrates success and forms the basis of lifelong learning.
I hope I have provided you with a small snapshot of our school’s four focus areas and that you find all the information you need about our school on the following pages. If there is anything further you need to know, I would encourage you to get in contact with our administration team who would be more than happy to assist you with any queries you might have.
