Bolwarra Primary School is located 8 kilometres north of the city of Portland in Victoria's south- west. The school has a long history of community support and forms a focus for a close-knit community. Bolwarra Primary is committed to providing a supportive school community which engages and challenges the students to strive for their personal best in order to become valued members of the local and global community. The school values respect for each other and our environment, integrity in all our actions, confidence to approach the new and the familiar, excellence in teaching and learning, and individual success. Expansive grounds combine with classrooms resourced with current technology to support our commitment to 21st century skills. Specialist classes are provided in PE/health, art, music and science. We use the Restorative Practices approach to welfare and discipline, along with 'You Can Do It!' and the Learning How to Learn program. These combine with a strong student leadership program to support student well-being and engagement. With a current school enrolment of 107 students, the school currently has in place six class groups, allowing low teacher-pupil ratios across the school. This enables the school to provide students with a high level of individual support.
