Communities of learners
At Brunswick East Primary School, children and teachers work together as communities of learners. In fact, our class organisation is based around mixed-age groupings in flexible Learning Communities.
At BEPS, we teach in teams to ensure we can meet your child’s needs. Learning sessions happen both inside and outside the classroom, combining focused lessons, hands-on play, and real-life learning experiences.
Students work in small groups to engage in collaborative investigation and discussion, which helps develop a strong sense of belonging and connection to community.
Students learn to listen carefully, communicate respectfully, challenge their own thinking, and support the thinking of others. They gain the confidence to speak up about things that matter to them and grow socially in a safe, encouraging environment.
BEPS encourages critical thinking, and we expect all members of the community – both children and adults – to treat each other with respect. BEPS students are engaged and enthusiastic about their own learning, challenging themselves and inspiring each other.
