What makes
BPCS different

Our unique approach to education

At its core, our school holds the right of children and young adults to an educational environment that sustains a bold and joyful approach to learning. By promoting creativity and real-world experiences, we connect learning to the life of our community, making it meaningful and creating a sense of belonging. Through mutual respect, our students understand both how to be brave with their voices and what it means to participate in a democratic environment.

The following eight core elements underpin our philosophy and encompass our values and understandings about childhood, care, and education.

Every child is unique

Each child is uniquely situated in the context of family and culture, bringing prior knowledge, skills, and experiences. This context significantly influences what they notice about the environment and how they organise and interpret it. We uphold the rights and potential of all our children to become contributing members of a group that values them for who they are. Developing respectful relationships with children and families is central to our approach.

Mutual Respect

Education and care is a cooperative and collaborative process between the children, families and staff. All are considered vital and active participants. Through a culture of mutual respect, we can promote the rights and potentials of all these members of our community.

Knowledge and Understanding

Children actively construct knowledge and understanding in response to interactions with their environment and the social relationships that surround them. Therefore, we best promote children’s growth and development by providing authentic and meaningful experiences and social relationships.

Collaboration

We prioritise learning opportunities that build collaboration skills as knowledge and understanding grow from learning with and from others. Educators should also be immersed in a collaborative environment to support their growth and learning.

Authentic & Meaningful Learning

Authentic learning relates to the real life of our community and what matters to our children. Meaningful learning occurs best through an approach that listens to children through their voices, gestures and inquiries and extends on these.

Power of the Arts

There are many ways to learn, communicate and understand the world. Artistic forms of knowing allow people to see beyond their worlds and “what is” into other worlds of “possibility”. We value the power of the arts to bring young children’s ‘voices’ to the community.

Connectedness

Place and nature connect us to the local and global community. Thoughtful actions can positively impact the world and communities around us. We believe in providing experiences that connect our children to the natural world and surrounding communities.

Intention

The intentional organisation, management and design of environments, materials and relationships impact the quality of the care and educational environment. We seek to establish stable groupings of children and educators, reflected in how we organise our classes and staffing.
