Birdwood Primary School values respect, caring and learning as fundamental to the way we relate to each other. The 'Circle of Courage' program, with its focus on belonging, mastery, independence and generosity, underpins and supports all aspects of school life, including teaching and learning, extra-curricular programs, behaviour development and community involvement. Literacy is our current curriculum focus, and is strongly supported by parents who assist in school literacy block sessions every morning. Numeracy and science are priorities and all students participate in environmental education activities. Having the high school next door allows for some combined programs. Student well-being is highly regarded and an ongoing focus is improving outcomes for boys. Leadership and student voice is highlighted through our R to 6 Student Representative Council and our Year 7 leadership program. The Christian Pastoral Support Worker runs lunchtime clubs and supports our community. Students participate each year in the 'Festival of Music' choir performance and are able to access the instrumental music program. We also run our annual 'Farm Day' fund-raiser with the help of the local community.
