Burren Junction Public School

Burren Junction Public School provides a comprehensive education for students living in the township of Burren Junction and on its neighbouring farms. Drawing children from a radius of up to 90kms away the school has an outstanding reputation for allowing students to reach their full academic, sporting and social potential, with its unique student Parliament a feature of the curriculum. The school has consistently achieved excellent results in external assessments with many students gaining scholarships at the start of their secondary education. All this is achieved within a small school setting where each child is valued and cared for. The school experiences strong parental involvement with a very active school council made up of parents and interested community representatives who meet up to 6 times a year. The Parents and Citizens is a separate body, made up of parents who take on the role of fund-raising for the school and who have been very supportive of the school for many years. As a result of this involvement the expectations of the parent body are very high, with most students leaving Burren Junction Public School after year 6 to continue secondary studies at either private boarding schools
