With the principles of our philosophy underpinning our approach, many elements of a student’s Bold Park education experience will be the same throughout their primary school years. We focus on unity, so all students understand they are part of a common whole. We believe in having opportunities for small group learning, and our adult-to-student ratios are an essential part of this.
While bells or sirens do not govern our days in primary school, each class follows a weekly schedule, and each day has a predictable rhythm and 'flow of the day'. The flow includes class meetings, skill and project-based lessons, breaks, and specialist teaching.
Our educators know that play is central to how children learn, form and explore friendships, shape and test hypotheses, and make sense of their world. In addition, they know that students learn differently and at different rates. For these reasons, our primary educators maintain a playful approach to curriculum and design various strategies to engage and challenge all students.
Our primary classes are generally multi-aged and housed in a comfortable and inviting classroom that is open and connected to the world around them. Learning spills out from our classrooms and onto our verandas or to various environments. These include specialist media and publishing, performance or visual arts spaces, library hubs for fiction and non-fiction collections across the school, a kitchen garden with chickens and garden beds planted and harvested with the students, an outdoor classroom and tool shed (Wildspace) where children learn to investigate, collaborate, negotiate, take risks, play and work safely out of doors.
We are committed to building relationships with families and making the student's learning visible. Our educators regularly communicate with families through various modes. These include face-to-face meetings, EDUCA, our web-based story platform, or class meetings. In addition, we utilise a range of assessments and standardised measures to monitor children's learning progress regularly. For example, each student's level of achievement of Western Australian Curriculum outcomes is formally graded and reported to parents twice a year along with a portfolio of the student's work. Students in primary school also participate in the National Assessment Program for Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) every two years from the age of 8. From Pre-Primary, we implement the Western Australian Curriculum, which sets the mandated content, skills, knowledge and guiding principles for our teaching, learning and assessment and reporting to parents/ guardians.
We deliver the Western Australian Curriculum, which sets the mandated content, skills, knowledge and guiding principles for our teaching, learning and assessment.

We implement the Keeping Safe: Child Protection Curriculum a student focussed curriculum for teaching protective behaviours and understanding of healthy relationships.
The Bluearth Approach involves specifically designed games, movements and postures that meet Physical Education (PE) curriculum requirements. Bluearth promotes a number of principles that lead to achieving improved social, personal, physical and academic outcomes. Our staff are specially trained in the use of programs such as Bluearth.

Lessons are inclusive, enjoyable and provide a non threatening learning environment. We believe that each student has the ability to succeed and should have opportunities to allow exploration, creativity and self assessment. The key to the our Bluearth Approach is the focus on the students’ experiences as a result of participating in each activity.
Students are not told what is right or wrong, rather, through skillful guidance and questioning these powerful messages are reinforced
The Arts have a unique ability to ignite our imaginations, broaden our perspectives, and facilitate meaningful connections with the world around us. Extensive research and contemporary understandings of education recognise the powerful impact of Arts education on a child’s holistic development. By engaging with the Arts, students can enhance and consolidate their learning, while cultivating important skills and attributes vital to their future success.
Camps form an important part of the Bold Park experience. We provide a graduate camps program that is designed to give our students experience in nature along with a feeling of confidence and capability that comes from managing the challenges that come with being away from home and outdoors. Camps can be a big challenge for some students, and we work very closely with families to ensure every child experiences success and joy through the shared experience.
The Outta Boundz program was designed to challenge and inspire our Middle School and College students whilst developing an intentional connection to place and one another through shared experiences.
The program offers diverse opportunities from nature based experiences through to community engagement opportunities. Over the years this program has offered a range of options including woodwork, surfing, rock climbing, or arts experiences from clay work to ukulele.
"The community. The teachers and staff really care about my child and want what’s best for him."
