At Burke Ward, our staff is not only honest, dedicated, supportive and extremely hard working, but also have a genuine love of teaching. We are all committed to providing a quality education to all students, with our moral imperative of improving student outcomes always being at the forefront of what we do. Whilst the kids we teach today are very much part of the digital age, at BWPS, we pride ourselves on developing the whole child, recognising that the development of life skills are just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic.
We often talk about ‘Burkie Pride'. Many of our parents and grandparents were and still are proud ‘Burkies'. Being a ‘Burkie' means that you take pride in how you work in class, participate in school events with commitment and determination, conduct yourself at school and in the community with honour and dignity thus upholding the fine reputation of our school. It is a tradition that goes hand in hand with our school motto, ‘Strive with Honour'.
