Brighton Primary School, established in 1875, is located in the bayside suburb of Brighton, 12 kilometres from Melbourne¿s CBD. With deep generational ties, our school is strongly supported by the School Council and parent community.
The school caters for approximately 550 students across 24¿26 classes, including 18¿20 students with moderate to profound hearing loss enrolled in our regional Deaf Facility. Our inclusive culture ensures all students learn in an environment of shared responsibility and collaboration.
Facilities include purpose-built specialist learning spaces for Science, Music, Art, Physical Education, and Performing Arts, alongside a modern library and collaborative learning spaces. Our spacious grounds feature landscaped play areas, adventure playgrounds, fitness circuits, and a student-designed Wonder Garden, reflecting the school community¿s strong investment in our facilities.
OUR MISSION & VISIONAt Brighton Primary School, our reputation rests on honouring our history, focusing on the present, and preparing for the future. The growth of our children is at the heart of our community. By nurturing the whole child¿academically, socially, emotionally, and physically¿we foster a sense of belonging and achievement through meaningful relationships and rich learning experiences.
At Brighton Primary School, explicit teaching is central to our practice. Approximately 80% of instructional time is dedicated to structured, evidence-based teaching that builds strong foundational knowledge and skills across literacy, numeracy, and other curriculum areas. This approach ensures students master essential content and can apply their learning with confidence.
In addition, around 20% of learning time is dedicated to guided inquiry, where students apply and extend their knowledge in meaningful contexts. As an IB Primary Years Program (PYP) school, our approach blends the strengths of explicit instruction with the opportunities for guided inquiry to ensure all students thrive. Through inquiry, they explore concepts, ask questions, and develop higher-order thinking skills, fostering curiosity, creativity, and deep understanding.
Our unique blend of explicit instruction and guided inquiry provides a powerful balance: students gain the solid knowledge base they need while developing the independence, problem-solving abilities, and global outlook that prepare them for the future.
We value our colleagues as reflective individuals who embrace evidence-based practice, who are open to new ideas, and who are committed to preparing students as critical thinkers and lifelong learners.
