Borenore Public School is a small school with an enrolment of eighteen students between the ages of five and twelve in Years Kindergarten, 1, 3, 5 and 6. The school is family oriented with parents participating in many of the day to day school activities alongside the students. A friendly community atmosphere enables the students to work co-operatively on a variety of projects. A feature of the school is the attitude of helpfulness to others, displayed particularly by the older children to the younger ones. Staff and the school community strive to provide a positive learning environment for all students, based on realising each child's individual potential for learning. There is a strong commitment to positive outcomes being achieved by all students, in the knowledge that self-esteem about learning will establish education as a lifelong process. Students are able to mix freely in recreational activities, regardless of age and gender, with a tolerance of individual differences and interests. The small school environment provides a meeting point for the community, with social and fundraising activities contributing positively to both the school's needs and the feeling of community cohesion.
