Policies & Parent Information Booklet
Welcome to Brabham Primary School
It is an honour to have your child and family join our new, inclusive learning community. We invite you on a shared educational journey, where we value working in partnership with parents to create opportunities that are reflective of the needs of our students and wider community.
Our students are at the centre of everything that we do. At Brabham PS our team of skilled and engaged educators work together to promote and provide a diverse range of learning opportunities aimed at developing the whole child, with a focus on the academic, social, physical and emotional development of EVERY child.
Our school is one that fosters a sense of belonging for everyone. We celebrate and welcome members from all cultures and foster a positive and supportive learning environment through high expectations of student learning and behaviour.
This handbook was developed to provide easy access to relevant information to support families as they transition into our new school environment. We welcome any feedback that could enhance this process to ensure that this is a positive experience for students and their families.
