Bundoora Primary School is situated in the residential suburb of Bundoora, in the north-east of Melbourne. Our school is surrounded by Gresswell Forest, established areas, the adjacent Bundoora Secondary College campus, Strathallan Golf Course and the new Gresswell Grange Estate. We are close to La Trobe University, RMIT Bundoora and the Metropolitan Ring Road.
The School's enrolment currently stands at 209, with students from a variety of backgrounds, demonstrating the multi-cultural aspect of our school. An English as a Second Language (ESL) program operates throughout the school and provides opportunities for students to have further focused instruction in English.
At Bundoora Primary, each child's individuality is recognised and celebrated. Our school boasts a nurturing, community environment where all families can feel that they are a part of something special.
We provide extra assistants in every class through our Education Support Officers. They offer individual and small group learning support throughout the school. Our Education Support Officers provide literacy support across the school to those students who have English as a second language or who have specific literacy needs. Our specialist areas are Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Physical Education and Science. We target advanced learning through our High Achievers' Group as well as challenging classroom activities. An innovative Language Support Program operates each day throughout the school.
Our school also provides an array of extra curricula activities, including a well-developed Student Leadership Program, Mathletics, Lunchtime Clubs, individual music lessons, a variety of sports activities and links with sporting organisations. We also boast the Bundoora Primary School House System which promotes a sense of belonging and pride and provides students with fun activities, throughout the year, to gain points for their House.
We have a very successful Out of School Hours Care program, as well as a free Breakfast Club.
At Bundoora Primary School we award Scholarships of Excellence Awards to students who demonstrate exemplary effort and excellence in relation to one or more of our school values: respect, excellence, resilience, cooperation and friendship. The monetary component of the scholarship is put towards supporting each recipient's education. The awards are announced at the end of each school year.
