Bellaire Primary School
Welcome to Bellaire Primary School. We are located in the suburb of Highton in Geelong. Students are drawn from both Highton and surrounding areas. At Bellaire Primary School, our school motto is ‘Aim High’. We are a collaborative and innovative learning environment. We place great value on building strong relationships between students, staff, parents, carers, and other visitors within our school community. Our school values are: Be Kind, Be Respectful, and Be Resilient. We actively promote positive behaviour and resilience, ensuring that our students develop the skills needed to thrive both academically and socially.
Welcome to Bellaire Primary School
Located at 59-71 Larcombe Street, Highton, VIC 3216, Bellaire Primary School is set on four hectares of beautiful grounds in the suburb of Highton. Our play areas and environment create a wonderful space for children to learn and grow.
Bellaire proudly serves students from local pre-schools, with enrolments steadily increasing in recent years. As a member of the Barwon South Schools Network, we collaborate closely with other schools in the region to support seamless transitions for students. We have established strong partnerships with local pre-schools and secondary schools in the hopes of strengthening learning and wellbeing from one educational setting to the next.
Renowned for our innovative curriculum, Bellaire has received multiple teaching awards in recognition of our commitment to excellence. Our dedicated teaching teams work collaboratively to deliver a rich and engaging educational program for every student. Specialist classes in French, Physical Education, STEAM, Library, and The Arts (Visual and Performing Arts) broaden our students’ learning experiences.
At Bellaire, we focus on developing digitally literate learners ready for the 21st century. Our curriculum thoughtfully integrates digital technologies, transforming how students engage with their learning. In Prep to Year 2, technology is purposefully embedded in daily lessons, while students in Years 3 to 6 participate in a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. These devices are valuable tools that enhance learning without replacing traditional skills like handwriting or teacher guidance.
We also offer quality Before and After School Care through our Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program, supporting families with flexible care options.
We invite you to explore our school community; where every child is encouraged to thrive.
Acknowledgement of Country
Our 2024 School Captains, along with our First Nations student group - Getjawil Bungil - who actively promote cultural perspectives within our school community, have thoughtfully written this Acknowledgement of Country:
Wominjeka - a word of welcome and greeting.
Together, we stand on the traditional land of the Wathaurong people as the Bellaire community.
We are surrounded by rich Aboriginal culture and history, which gives us the privilege to learn, grow, and connect on this nunkeri - beautiful country.
On behalf of the Bellaire community, we pay our respects to all Elders past, present, and emerging, and to all those who are with us today.
They hold the memories, traditions, culture, and hopes of all First Nations peoples.
We acknowledge their unique and beautiful culture and traditions, and the care they have given - and continue to give - to this land.
