Department of Education Victoria – Brunswick VIC

1d ago , from Department of Education & Training Victoria

Brunswick South Primary School is Victoria's first Italian bilingual school. We are a vibrant community, thriving on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people, the Traditional Owners of the lands and waterways in the area now known as Merri-bek. Our reconciliation journey is one of curiosity, learning and understanding.

Community and inclusivity underpin our school culture. As a Respectful Relationships lead school, we support our young people in developing the social and emotional skills, as well as the academic skills they need to become engaged, active learners who will go on to make positive contributions to their communities.

Student voice and agency are highly valued. Learning is not a passive activity; it requires risk-taking and challenge, ownership and responsibility. These attributes are explicitly taught through our Social Emotional Learning program and are applied in all classes. Student Action Teams foster collaboration and community-mindedness, empowering students to transfer their learning to real-life applications.

We hold high expectations for every child and support their learning trajectory through engaging, evidence-based teaching strategies and having lots of fun along the way Our carefully constructed curriculum and instructional models take into consideration what each student is ready to learn next. Our commitment to consistent best practice is evident in our outstanding literacy and numeracy outcomes, thanks to our dedicated staff and the pride they take in their work.

Our students are part of an creative community of learners, with ours being one of 11 Designated Bilingual Schools in Victoria.



All BSPS students undertake 50% of their learning through English and 50% through Italian. Bilingual education is proven to deliver excellent student outcomes in social, cultural, literacy, numeracy and thinking skills, regardless of their language background. Our graduates go on to their secondary schooling with the signature strengths of a BSPS primary education: curiosity, resilience, creativity and impressive critical thinking and problem-solving skills. In short, they are amazing learners
