We at Beachlands Primary School consider ourselves to be a family who 'care and share'. Our Mission is to provide opportunities for students to develop the understandings, knowledge and skills necessary in enabling the development of academic, social, physical and creative abilities that will encourage them to reach their full potential while showing respect for themselves, other individuals and the environment.
Staff are highly motivated, passionate educators, committed to making a difference in the lives of young people. We develop programs to provide educational experiences that allow students to grow and excel in a safe, supportive, positive and caring environment. The strong interpersonal and communication skills of staff enable us to participate effectively with high levels of collaborative practice working as members of the 'team', in whole school planning, data analysis, curriculum development and program implementation. Staff possess the capacity to reflect on teaching practice and show leadership skills across all areas of the school.
Our Teachers are proactive about implementing the Australian Curriculum and apply the principles and strategies of First Steps in their teaching. We are dedicated to providing a balanced education for our students and do so by supporting and valuing science, the arts, physical education and LOTE programs.
