Welcome to
Bourke Street Public School

Bourke Street Public School is an inner city school established in 1880 and located in heritage classified buildings. We are a small, caring school with a secure environment where students show respect, tolerance and understanding of individual differences and where the academic and cultural potential of each student is fostered in a climate of responsibility in the pursuit of excellence.

Children learn effectively in our safe and secure environment which has strong elements of trust, respect and confidence. This is the environment which we at Bourke Street Public School strive to maintain.

Bourke Street Public School caters for the needs of children with varying abilities and from many different backgrounds. We provide a range of programs and opportunities to develop knowledge and skills academically, socially and personally to assist student’s in reaching their full potential. The school’s resources are supplemented by funding from the Priority School’s Program.

In partnership with the local community the school aims to provide students with a quality education that prepares them for lifelong learning experiences.
