Beaumaris North is located 15 kilometres south east of the Melbourne City Centre. The school community represents a broad range of occupations with a majority of professionals. Central to our achievements is the high level of teamwork within and across all levels and sectors of the school community. Our collective commitment to Literacy and Numeracy, the Primary Years Programme (PYP), use of technology, Student Welfare and becoming a sustainable school environment, is evidenced by the data collected throughout 2010. We are an IB World School authorised to deliver the Primary Years Programme of the International Baccalaureate. In line with the IBO philosophy, our school vision is to develop, in partnership with the whole school community, an effective, caring and dynamic learning community. We offer a full range of VELS Specialist subjects in Visual Arts, Library, LOTE, Performing Arts and Physical Education and have many enrichment opportunities across the curriculum. The low teacher:student ratio at every level enhances our Literacy and Numeracy results. Our new Level 1 and Level 4 learning centres have provided us with 21st Century learning environments incorporating open learning facilities and technology spaces for our students.. This school has 37.8 equivalent full time teachers: 3 Principal class, 34.8 teachers and 6.23 Education Support staff.
