Boyare Primary School, in the suburb of Mirrabooka, opened in 1991. The student population is approximately 400 students. 65% of students speak a language other than English as their first language with 41 different first languages identified. 10% of the student population is indigenous. Cultural diversity is embraced and celebrated every day and through major events such as Harmony Day and NAIDOC Week. Our motto, 'Learning Together,' captures the community focus of our school. We are committed to building strong and positive partnerships with parents and local community. A strong focus is placed on academic achievement with priorities in Literacy and Numeracy. ESL students are a major consideration in all programs. Specialist teachers in Literacy and Numeracy support teaching programs and individual planning is integral to the success of students at risk. Additional programs, including 'Breakfast Club,' and After School Sports,' are offered. Boyare is a 'Six Kinds of Best School' and places emphasis on social learning and values education. Our Learning Support Coordinator, AIEO, School Chaplain and School Psychologist are important contributors to our strong Student Services team.
