LEARNING PHILOSOPHY

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 literate, numerate and confident to take their place in a complex technological world
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
be tolerant, respectful and appreciative of people and their differences

Our teaching and learning philosophy encourages children to:

take responsibility for their behaviours and a pride in their achievements
develop an awareness of the learning strategies which enable them to become independent, lifelong learners
develop effective decision making, problem solving and critical thinking skills
be socially connected and develop acceptable social skills
learn to operate effectively as a part of a team
undertake leadership roles through a variety of whole-school and classroom responsibilities and opportunities
strive to perform to the best of their abilities
