At Brighton Beach Primary School we aim to offer a balanced and comprehensive learning program, building on a strong foundation of literacy and numeracy, as well as a broad range of specialist learning areas.
Within an enthusiastic, caring, friendly, child-centred learning environment our school strives to ensure that all children will:
-
be happy in themselves and enjoy coming to school
-
become confident, successful, self-motivated, independent life-long learners
-
have high, but realistic expectations of themselves and others

-
be responsible learners empowered to make decisions that positively affect their lives and society
-
work co-operatively with their peers and other members of the school community
-

Our teaching and learning philosophy encourages children to:
-
