Beaufort Primary School enjoys an outstanding reputation as a friendly and caring "Beautiful Place to Learn".
The school has an enrolment of around 160 students. About half of the students come from rural backgrounds and travel to school by bus. Our Primary School facilities on the Secondary College site enable us to access to the Gymnasium, Drama Centre and specialist subject classrooms.
Beaufort Primary School has a strong focus on student wellbeing through its emphasis on positive values and provision of a caring environment. The school provides support services for students who require additional assistance and encourages a positive partnership with the home. The school values the development of social competencies and skills as an important part of its educative role alongside the development of the academic achievement of students.
The school caters for children from Foundation to Year 6. Strong links are fostered with both the local kindergarten and Beaufort Secondary College, for which we are the main feeder school. Classes are organised in grade level groupings or composite classes to ensure the best class sizes.
Parents are involved in many ways – Parent Helpers, School Council, Parents and Friends Club, special food days, classroom programs, excursions, swimming, school sporting teams and library maintenance.
House swimming and athletics sports take place annually.
The children participate in decision-making through the Junior School Council.
Parents are kept informed of all activities at the school through a weekly newsletter. Special information sessions are arranged to provide a forum for parents to learn about new initiatives taking place at the school. An annual school magazine is published covering all aspects of the children's activities and school operations for the year. A comprehensive School Information Manual is distributed to all new families.
