Learning with Purpose and Passion
Bonython Primary School is a safe and inclusive learning environment where curiosity, challenge, and belonging are cultivated for all learners. Our motto, Learning with Purpose and Passion, underpins our belief that students learn best when they are active, engaged, and empowered. We work in partnership with our families and community to develop authentic, meaningful, and connected learning experiences in contemporary classrooms.
Our Guiding Principles for Education at Bonython:
LEARNING
We believe that learning is enhanced when it is authentic, meaningful and connected.
CURRICULUM
We believe the curriculum should be used to support the design of learning experiences that develop concepts, knowledge, skills and dispositions.
ENVIRONMENTS
We believe that environments should be safe and inclusive, and nurture curiosity, challenge and belonging.
LEARNERS
We believe that effective learners see themselves as capable, active and empowered.
In our inquiry classrooms, curiosity and student voice are nurtured. Our educators draw on a repertoire of responsive teaching practices to grow the capacity of all students at their point of need. We have a strong focus on developing Learning Assets which are the skills and dispositions that enable each child to develop as informed and active citizens. We value collaboration, self-management, communication, critical thinking, proactive research, and active community contribution.
Our school values are known as ‘the GIDES’: Grit, Integrity, Diversity, Empathy, and Self-management. Students learn about these values and how to demonstrate these skills in their daily lives.
Bonython Primary School is a wonderful place for your child to learn and grow. On behalf of our dedicated staff, we welcome you to our community!
