From 2005-2006 onwards, the school instituted a number of reforms focusing on improving the school culture and the efficiency of administration. These included the school-wide implementation of the "Choose Respect" initiative to address bullying, which won a regional award for excellence in 2007 and saw Belmont teachers presenting at Safe Schools events in other states, and a restorative justice initiative for peaceful conflict resolution. The school also formed a special agreement with the University of Western Australia during this period for its academic students, and with the City of Belmont for its vocational students.
