Welcome to our school! At Brunswick South we provide a stimulating and secure learning environment that supports the personal and interpersonal development of all students and equips them with the skills and knowledge to become valued members of the community.

Our values of respect, tolerance, equality, friendliness, dedication, commitment, achievement and humour are the basis for all relationships in our school community.  At Brunswick South, learning for life is a genuine partnership between staff, students and their families.  Students are valued through a weekly school assembly, contributions to our weekly newsletter, ever-changing displays of work and constant positive reinforcement from staff members and the wider school community. Students also have many opportunities to develop leadership skills (eg, through Junior School Council) and to become involved in school and community activities. Parents are also very involved in everything at school, from assisting in the veggie garden and orchard, to organising our wonderful ‘Original Twilight Fete’, to teaching violin, to helping in the classrooms. We love to see parents and families around the school and especially enjoy the family feel of our Monday morning assemblies.

A key to our success is our excellent communication and friendly relationships. Teachers are always available to meet with parents and regularly phone parents to discuss children’s progress or concerns they may have. Parents are welcome to come and support their child in the classroom and to visit the staffroom for a coffee if they are up at the school helping out.

We are very lucky to have a great gender balance on our staff, with three wonderful male teachers, including a male prep teacher, as well as lots of switched on, fabulous female teachers! We have a lot of fun at Brunswick South and we embrace new students and families with kindness and an assurance that we have a zero tolerance of bullying here, and we work hard to make sure that everyone feels safe and happy each day.
