Beecroft Public School

Beecroft Public School is a learning community that is dedicated to nurturing the growth of the child, the family and subsequently the community at large. As a school, we have committed ourselves to developing a culture of life-long learning. We strive to provide an environment where students are constantly engaged in those activities that foster educationally sound and academically appropriate learning experiences. Students are developing important decision making, critical thinking, technological and communication skills necessary to meet the challenges of an ever changing world. Beecroft Public School firmly supports the concept of education as a collaborative process, requiring the combined efforts and cooperation of the school, the home, the student and the community. To support and encourage these educational collaborations, we are dedicated to providing clear expectations, open dialogue and communication, ongoing support and guidance, and opportunities for growth and practice. The school's programs reflect the high priority of the community for academic excellence in a positive, safe and caring environment. It is accepted that a key role for the school is to ensure that its students are literate and numerate by the time they graduate, and that all students are also committed to the process of life-long learning that is necessary in this 21st century. Beecroft Public School students participate in a variety of extra-curricula activities, ranging from the Arts and Craft program run by the Parents and Citizens Association as an after school program to the highly successful Band and Strings program. The Band and Strings program provides students with the opportunity to develop music and performance skills. Our bands perform at competitions, eisteddfods and school concerts and the year culminates in a tour by the school's stage 3 students in the concert and stage bands. The school also provides opportunities for public speaking, debating, chess, art and dance. Our participation in the Beecroft PSSA allows our students to excel in the sporting arena. Regular Friday competition in Netball, Soccer, Softball and Aus Tag occurs with Swimming, Athletics and Cross Country Carnivals being a feature of the sporting calendar. Beecroft Public School is highly successful in all academic and cross-curricular areas.
