BY the time they finish primary school, children will have spent more than 7,000 hours in the classroom, which is why the environment they learn in matters so much. At Bourchier Street Primary School, we believe school should feel like a second home — a place where every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn.
We’re proud of our strong literacy and numeracy foundations, but we know education is about more than just academics. It’s about helping young people grow into kind, curious and confident humans. That’s why we place just as much importance on values like contribution, empathy, and belonging.
Education Week 2025 invites us all to celebrate culture and diversity, something we do every day at Bourchier. Our community brings together families from all walks of life, and it’s in those differences like the languages spoken at home, the stories we share, the food we eat, and the perspectives we bring to the classroom, that our school becomes richer and more connected.
We work hard to make sure every child is known. Our straight-year classes and smaller class sizes allow teachers to focus deeply on students, and our daily small-group instruction ensures every child gets the support or challenge they need to thrive.
Whether it’s in the playground, in the art room, during breakfast club, or walking through the yard in the morning, there’s a strong sense of community here. Staff care deeply — not just about academic progress, but about helping each student find their place and their spark.
If you’d like to learn more about life at Bourchier Street, we’d love to meet you. Give us a call on 5821 3488 — we’re always happy to welcome new families.
