Shelley Primary School was selected to become an Independent Public School in 2018.
In collaboration with the school community, as an Independent Public School, Shelley Primary School has set our strategic direction, through the Shelley Primary Business Plan.
In order to operate with more autonomy, as an Independent Public School we are afforded a number of flexibilities. These include selection of teaching and non-teaching staff and management of finances though a one-line budget.
Although we are called an Independent Public School, we remain part of the Public School system. Like all public schools, Shelley Primary School is obliged to comply with relevant legislation, industrial agreements and whole of government policies and initiatives.
