Buronga Public School
Buronga Public School is a PP5 school located in the south-west corner of the state, 6km from Mildura, catering for 82 students, 37% of whom are Aboriginal. The school prides itself on its community partnerships and the development of innovative programs that support all students and their individual learning needs, with literacy and numeracy as the major focus. The school is committed to developing competent, responsible and enthusiastic students by providing relevant and challenging learning activities. Our aim is to encourage independent learning, self-esteem, tolerance and self-discipline in a safe and harmonious environment. Our school's highly qualified inspirational teaching staff combine innovative thinking with global connections and shared family values, achieving high quality educational programs, student welfare, positive parent and community participation and open communication. Students are encouraged to participate in a wide range of cultural and sporting activities which enable them to interact with other students in the district. The school has a strong foundation as a community centre, providing a home for a supported playgroup and also runs a ground breaking Outdoor Education program, including chickens, fish, orchard and vegetable gardens.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
