Bringelly Public School

Bringelly Public School is a semi–rural school in South West Sydney and proud of its 141 year history. Our school motto is "Together We Grow." The school vision is to prepare confident citizens who will successfully meet the diverse challenges of a rapidly changing world. Set on five hectares of school grounds the school has six classrooms, a small food services area with a canteen, Library, a large sports field, multi–purpose court and playground. The school is active in encouraging environmental education and has an outdoor learning environment. The school woodland and wetland area is environmentally protected under the Environment and Heritage Act. We encourage the love of outdoor learning and the student’s development of practical skills. The renovated original classroom, built in 1897, and the original school house provide a real link to the school heritage which is highly valued by the school and the wider community. The school is part of a wider network of schools called the Cowpasture Group of Schools and also part of the Macarthur School Network.  The population of the school has twenty eight % non English speaking background and ten % of students come from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander backgrounds. In 2017, Bringelly Public School, began a New South Wales Early Action for Success  project aimed to improve students’ performance through a targeted approach in the early years.  Additional  staff in classrooms support the project .  Since 2015 the school has been a member of Eco–Schools  International, part of 450 Schools in 58 countries. This reflects the school’s commitment to ensuring young people have power to be the change for sustainability that our world needs by engaging them in fun, action orientated and socially responsible learning. Bringelly Public School has a diverse range of real world educational programs delivered by highly skilled and specialist teachers and consultants. Links have been formed with the Sydney Royal Botanic Gardens, Australian Botanic Gardens Mt Annan, local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander groups and local companies; all who help the school and are keen to support  our programs utilising our unique environment. The school's garden and woodland walk are part of this initiative. In 2019 the school will continue studies involving STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).Our program taims to increase student engagement, curiosity and academic performance. Bringelly Public School uses the Student Voice and Live Life Well Framework  to guide management and student welfare initiatives in the school where students obtain recognition for their friendly, respectful, taking opportunities, owning their personal growth and being safe in their behaviour. A supportive cultural program in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander knowledge for girls and boys has increased links to the community with specialized  teachers, Elders and consultants involved in school programs.  Year 6 are 'buddies' for Kindergarten  students as part of the school’s lengthy entry into school transition program and the school’s Student Leadership Team has teams leading committees for Student Voice, involving students from K-6.. The school P&C Assocoation is very active with parents supporting our school vision, activities and sporting programs. The Bringelly P&C Association provide a forum for parents to have a say on school planning and organisation.  They also support the school through fund raising as well as operating the canteen and uniform shop.
