In 1878 the founders of Brighton Beach Primary School, could never have imagined the world of today. In an environment marked by continuous change, our endeavor is to engage the 21st Century learner.

Our strategic plan purpose is to build better pathways for success by creating a community of global learners. This is supported by our values of Resilience, Reflection, Responsibility, Respect and Relationships.

Values education and eLearning are fundamental to students' management of their daily lives. Therefore inclusion of these across the learning curriculum is essential. We believe that happiness and a sense of connectedness are the footnotes to the development of literate and productive citizens of tomorrow.

Brighton Beach Primary School continues to be proud of their history and excited about the future. Our Bathing Box logo connects the past with the present and although times have changed, the focus on quality teaching and the wellbeing and engagement of our students remains a constant.

In a faster more digital world we have recognised the need for our students to learn about themselves and others and to build resilience through the use of Circle Time and the Kids Matter Framework core competencies. This paves the way for the development of Literacy and Numeracy skills as key components of the Victorian Curriculum and continues to be a primary focus through which all other learning takes place.

Our comprehensive specialist programs of Performing and Visual Arts, LOTE (Japanese) and Physical Education mean success, achievement and appeal reaches the broad range of interests and abilities that students possess.

Our community partnerships start with our supportive Parents Association and extend to our membership of the Bayside Network of schools where transition from kindergarten to primary and primary to secondary school is enabled and coordinated with great expertise. We then reach out to global partnerships with schools in Japan through our LOTE program. These partnerships mean that our students and staff have access to a broader range of learning opportunities well beyond the school. Through the power of Information and Communication Technologies we are able to maintain and further build these partnerships.

Our programs share the same common goal for our students to be engaged in their learning so they can be the best they can be.
