Bourke Street Public School
Bourke Street Public School is an inner-city school established in 1880 housed in heritage classified buildings. We are a dynamic school experiencing rapidly growth in enrolments. Core values of the school are respect, tolerance, inclusiveness and an understanding of individual differences. The school achieves its mission by identifying the potential of students in a climate of responsibility in the pursuit of excellence. Children learn effectively in an environment which has strong elements of trust and confidence. This is the environment which we at Bourke Street Public School strive to maintain. Bourke Street Public School caters for the needs of children with varying abilities and from many different backgrounds. We provide a range of programs to assist students in reaching their full potential. Programs offered are dance, visual arts, bike education, music, choir, environmental education and sport. This school plays an important role in partnership with the local community.
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.
