A message from the principal

I extend a warm welcome to you and your family to Bundoora Primary School.

Bundoora Primary School is a dynamic, learning community that has at its core positive and constructive relationships where the expectations are high, learning is relevant, deep, and real, and where structure and support facilitates progress for every student. There is a strong emphasis on striving for personal best and on the holistic development of the student.

Students at Bundoora Primary school are confident, competent, and well-rounded individuals who are encouraged to develop a love of learning together with the skills, resources, and motivation to fully experience life-long learning. Bundoora Primary school provides high quality education through a relevant and stimulating curriculum in a secure and purposeful environment. We integrate digital pedagogies throughout the curriculum. Classroom spaces are carefully organised to support learning. Our well-resourced facilities create a sense of place.

The people in our community make our school a special place to be. Encouraging and affirming relationships define our learning community. Our teachers are highly talented and dedicated. They work in collaboration to develop a school culture that values teaching and learning. They encourage all students to strive to achieve their best with their academic learning, social skills, school spirit and sense of service to others.

Fostering a strong partnership between the family and the school through clear and continuous communication is a key element in students’ success at Bundoora Primary School.  All parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education and in school events and decision-making opportunities.

All our pedagogy is purposefully designed to meet the needs of our students. We have a strong data focus, and all our staff are developing their abilities in becoming more data literate to be able to cater to the needs of every student. Data drives our teaching. We are proud to provide Individual Education Plans for children working above and below the required level. All our lessons are differentiated for each child. With an average of 23 students per class we can provide a personalised education for each child.

We aspire to develop students who will thrive in the new millennium. We understand that students need to have greater thinking and problem-solving abilities and be more self-motivated than ever before. Our teachers support and guide our students to be thinkers and enquirers, who wonder and pose questions.

I hope you enjoy accessing more information about our high-quality school as you navigate your way through our website. We welcome enrolment enquiries at al year levels.
