Welcome To Boroondara Park Primary School

Welcome to Boroondara Park Primary School. We work in partnership with you to provide the best possible education for your child. As a school we provide the best facilities, resources and support mechanisms to optimise student outcomes while offering the widest possible curriculum to allow all students to experience success.

By encouraging students to adopt and embrace positive personal and social values, we assist them to function effectively in society and prepare them to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Our aim is to motivate students to productively contribute, locally or globally, to improving our world.

Boroondara Park Primary School offers a wide range of experiences and educational opportunities, so all students can succeed. Our comprehensive curriculum is complemented by studies in languages, the arts, physical education and STEM.

The school’s priority is to develop the whole child academically, culturally, emotionally, physically and socially within a caring and supportive environment. While catering for all ability levels, staff focus is on maximising achievement for every student in English and Mathematics. 

Our Values

Respect is valuing the feelings and abilities of everyone. At BPPS we accept each other. 

Care is taking a genuine interest in the wellbeing of ourselves, others and our school. At BPPS we think about and act to support others. 

Responsibility is being dependable, making good choices and taking accountability for our actions. At BPPS we are active participants and look out for the wellbeing of others and the world. 

Inclusion is valuing everyone. At BPPS everyone belongs and it is a safe place to be yourself. 

Underpinning our values is the development and common understanding of the three rights.

• The right to learn
• The right to feel safe
• The right to be respected

As a community we understand with each right there is an equal responsibility. These three responsibilities are held up alongside our rights.

• We are responsible for ensuring we try our best and have a positive impact on the learning of others.
• We are responsible for ensuring others feel safe physically and emotionally.
• We have the responsibility to treat others fairly and with respect.

We believe every child can learn and they have the right to reach their full potential.

Through high quality leadership and teaching, we deliver a diverse curriculum in an enriching environment where our students flourish into independent learners and critical thinkers as they pursue excellence in all things.

Our school works with students and families to enable them to be or have:

• Independent learners
• Critical thinkers
• In pursuit of excellence
• Pride in themselves
• Kindness in their hearts
• Compassion in their community

Boroondara Park is a hidden gem in Balwyn North with an active and supportive community. We view a child’s education as a joint responsibility between school, parents, and child. To this end we encourage parental involvement in many areas including classroom helpers, celebrations, open days, assemblies, end of term learning Expos, sporting activities, camps and excursions.

Our school has before and after school care, a school canteen and many extra curricula activities and programs for students to participate in, including instrumental music, chess and sporting activities. Boroondara Park Primary School is able to take International Students for study in Victoria.

Come and visit Boroondara Park and find out why it is the school for your child. School tours available each week, call and book a time to visit.

We look forward to working with you to provide the best education possible for your child.
