School Policies and Guidelines
At Bittern Primary School, we place the health and wellbeing of our children as a top priority – understanding that a happy and healthy child is at the core of successful learning.
Our dedicated staff members are committed not only to the educational growth of our students but also to nurturing them as individuals.
Bittern Primary School is celebrated for its strong and positive connections with families, its adaptability in supporting students with additional needs, and its unwavering commitment to inclusion and diversity.
Guided by our Student Engagement Policy, which has been developed with the endorsement of our school council, Bittern Primary School makes thoughtful decisions to ensure the ongoing engagement and welfare of our students on school grounds.
