Established in 1864, Birregurra Primary School is a unique learning community, situated 20 kilometres east of Colac. The school is nested in a picturesque rural setting within the township of Birregurra on a 4 hectare site. Over the past number of years our enrolments have slowly increased with more families choosing to embrace the country lifestyle. Construction of a new main building was completed late 2023, providing 3 new modern teaching and learning spaces, new administration areas, first aid room and conference room. In addition to this we have 3 additional classroom spaces, an Arts Centre, a Multipurpose Room, oval, basketball court and numerous playground areas.

Our school's purpose is to be an inclusive community that supports and encourages a love of learning and the skills and mindset to thrive.In order to fulfil this vision, we nurture our students to be independent lifelong learners who are well equipped to meet the challenges of an ever changing world; think and learn through problem solving; achieve personal success and excellence; demonstrate ethical, social and environmental responsibility and be active, happy, engaged and productive citizens. We value:

Community- growing positive partnerships between school, home and the broader community

Aspire- setting goals and purposefully working towards their achievement

Respect- for self, others, learning and our environment

Excellence- striving for the highest personal achievement in all aspects of schooling.

We apply these values in our everyday dealings with each other and in the development of our programs and policies.

Birregurra Primary School is a vibrant,



innovative and genuinely student-centred school. We have a strong sense of community and care for each other. The school, being central to the community of Birregurra, has built strong partnerships with parents and local community groups. These partnerships maximise learning opportunities for all.

As a Respectful Relationships school, we promote inclusion, acceptance and celebration of difference. We provide the opportunity for all young people to flourish within a supportive and caring environment, with high expectations for learning and behaviour. We want our students and their families to know we are committed to achieving the best outcomes for their child.

Teachers follow an evidence based teaching and learning model to maximise student learning achievement. Learning Intentions and Success Criteria ensure purposeful learning tasks and clear expectations and achievement goals for students. Teachers work collaboratively, participating in dedicated PLC's using the FISO inquiry cycle to ensure a constant focus on student learning outcomes. We have a professional and committed team all working together to provide the best possible education for our students as evidenced by our consistently high Staff Opinion Survey results.

The curriculum design, learning experiences and overall learning environment focus on fostering the skills and mindset of self-directed, lifelong learners.



Teachers explicitly plan to give all students the prospect to be successful learners who have voice and choice in their learning and can apply/integrate current knowledge and skills across learning areas, with 21st century capabilities woven though all learning experiences.

These factors all combine to make Birregurra Primary School a stimulating, flexible and happy environment where all children have the opportunity to develop the key social, academic and emotional competencies to be successful and happy life-long learners.
