Bowen Road Primary emphasises the personal worth of all children and achievement of their full potential. Core priorities are Literacy, Numeracy, Positive Behaviour Support and Science. We offer two fifteen hour Kindergarten classes. The school motto 'Optimum Elige' means 'Choose the Best' and we work to achieve this for our students and families. Our enrolment is consistently around 300 students. Facilities include a large oval, swings, expansive play areas and several computers in each room as well as a computer laboratory. Before and after-school care is available as well as a gym, a five-day canteen service and a breakfast club. The main block was modernised in 2005 to accommodate six large classrooms. To support literacy the school runs reading recovery for year one students and provides bridges programs to those from year two to six. Additional individual and small group support in literacy is provided as we are involved in the Federal Government's 'Raising the Bar' initiative. Specialist lessons for Physical Education Music Information Technology apply for all students and Japanese is taught to those in Years 3
