Brentwood Park Primary School is situated in the City of Casey in the residential suburb of Berwick. It is well placed within the community with a local pre-school and secondary college on its northern and southern borders respectively. Its enrolment in 2010 was 550 students. The school provides a quality education for its students, delivered in a positive, supportive and challenging learning environment. As a school, we aim to maximise the educational opportunities and learning outcomes of our students, promoting positive self-esteem and the attainment of personal best, through the delivery of quality, differentiated educational programs. We maintain a strong focus on literacy and numeracy, complemented by an inquiry based curriculum. The early years’ programs in the first two years of schooling are based on the developmental curriculum and are child centred. The units of work developed in Years 2 – 6 are also child centred, being based on the inquiry learning model. Parents, as part of the school team, are encouraged to become involved in our programs. The school strongly emphasises the importance of the homeschool partnership with a high level of co-operation between parents, staff and children. Parent support is high, with parents responding to the learning team concept promoted and practised by the school. School council in its commitment to ICT readily endorses budgets to ensure the school is well resourced and student learning is supported in a technologically rich environment. In addition to computers, all classrooms have interactive whiteboards.
