At Bolinda Primary School, we are proud of the strong, caring community we have built¿one where every child is known, valued and supported to be their best. Our values of respect, kindness and excellence are lived every day, shaping how we learn together, how we treat one another and how we grow as individuals.
With small class sizes and an average of around 15 students per class, our dedicated team of teachers, education support and administration staff are able to provide personalised learning and genuine care for every child. This close-knit setting allows us to truly know our students¿their strengths, their interests and the support they need to thrive.
Nestled in the Macedon Ranges, Bolinda Primary School benefits from a beautiful rural setting while remaining connected to nearby townships. Our natural surrounds are an extension of the classroom, offering rich opportunities for outdoor learning, exploration and hands-on experiences that connect students to their environment and community.
We are an inclusive school that welcomes families from a range of backgrounds and cultures. We celebrate individuality and work hard to ensure every child feels a strong sense of belonging. Alongside a strong focus on Literacy and Numeracy, students enjoy a range of specialist programs including Auslan, Visual Arts, STEM and an optional Instrumental Music program. Student wellbeing is a priority, supported through our Kimochi program, where we explicitly teach social and emotional skills and positive decision-making.
Our passionate staff work collaboratively to deliver high-quality, evidence-based teaching with high expectations for all learners. We value strong home¿school partnerships and encourage families to support learning through reading and mathematics at home. Together, we aim to nurture confident, capable learners who are supported to reach their full potential in a safe, caring and connected school community.
