Media Statement - NEWS

A unique part of the Bold Park Community School experience is found in the range of specialist’s programs that cater to the holistic development of our students. Our diverse Arts Program, featuring Dance, Drama, Music, Culinary Arts, Media, Visual Arts, Digital Technologies and Design Technologies nurtures creativity and broadens perspectives.

Through initiatives like Bluearth, we focus on enhancing physical and emotional wellbeing. Our evolving Camps experiences are aimed at building resilience through nature-based experiences. They are an extension from the Boodjar Kaatijin program, based in our Wildspace.

The Outta Boundz initiative presents older students with challenges such as surfing and woodwork, promoting environmental and community engagement. Beyond the traditional classroom, activities like Culinary Arts cooking in the Wild Kitchen and the Outdoor Provocation working with wood and natural materials further enriches learning and personal development, embodying our commitment to a holistic educational journey.

Bluearth

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

  • Honesty
  • Fair play, Consideration for others, Cooperation, Challenging oneself and Quality of Attention.

Arts Program

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

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.

Before & After School and Vacation Care

Our Before and After School Program - Out of School Hours Care (OSH) is available to children enrolled in Pre-Primary, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 in 2025. Additionally, we will also be offering the Pre-Primary, Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 to join the ELC OSH School Holiday Program in April, July, September and December, in 2025.

 

The Early Learning Centre (ELC) OSH Program opens at 7am and closes at 6pm every day, with the exception of public holidays. The OSH program is run by experienced early childhood educators who offer a fun, stimulating and highly social activities before and after school.

 

Once OSH is finished in the morning, one of the educators will take the children to their classrooms in the Primary School. After school, an OSH afternoon educator will collect the children from their classroom and take them down to the ELC OSH classroom.

 

The ELC OSH is Child Care Subsidy (CCS) approved. If you are eligible for CCS, you may receive a rebate. The before and after school OSH fees are included in the 2025 Fee Schedule.

 

Places are limited to 20 students. Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten will have first preference.

Outta Boundz

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.

"It continues to be a safe place where I know my child is encouraged, valued and accepted for who they are. The events (Mud Day, Arts Festival) are always wonderful and foster a real sense of community."
