Connected Community School trial

Ashburton Drive Primary School has been selected as one of four schools in Western Australia to participate in the Connected Community School trial. Starting as part of a phased approach in 2026, the four-year trial will run until the end of the 2029 school year.

During this initiative, we will work closely with our community to create a well-supported school environment that connects students and their families to the help and services they need to succeed – both in learning and in life.

Our students, families and school community are vital to the success of the trial. We welcome your ideas, feedback and involvement as we work to grow our existing supports and bring new opportunities to our school.

These intended services will be available to students, their parents and carers, siblings and other family members who care for a child enrolled at our school.

 

Creating our Connected Community School

Listen

We will talk with students, staff, families and the community to hear what is working well and what could help more.

People in a group talking

Plan

Using your feedback, we will design activities and supports that match our needs. This could be health, wellbeing, learning or family services offered at school.

Connect

Our school will become a place where families can access support and community activities during and outside of school hours.

Grow

Together, we build a school that connects, supports and grows with our community.
