Since 1861 Burwood East Primary School has provided excellence in education to the students in the surrounding communities. The school provides education for a mixed social demographic, with a significant number of students from a non-English speaking background being catered for by a specialist English as a Second Language Teacher. Staff is comprised of the Principal, 10 full time staff, 4 part time, and 11 Education Support Staff, supported by two Administration staff. Burwood East Primary provides a friendly and caring environment that enhances learning, personal growth and wellbeing for all students and creates a stimulating and supportive environment for all staff. We are committed to building a culture that promotes core values, personal excellence and fosters co-operation, persistence and open communication. Students are encouraged through a variety of student leadership positions,commencing in the preparatory year, to take ownership of their education. We take great pride in the extensive Student Welfare programs that we run at Burwood East to encourage your child to experience success in their social, emotional and academic life. Students are provided with a happy and safe environment where their opinions are valued and they are encouraged to "have a go." Opportunities are provided for parents and families to get together and be an active part of our school community. Parents are strongly encouraged to become involved in their child's school years through parent assistance and other extra curricula programs such as camps, BEPS Communities and sport.
