Principal's Welcome
Welcome to Boroondara Park Primary School
Thank you for taking interest in Boroondara Park Primary School, a hidden gem in Balwyn North with an active and supportive community. We view a child’s education as a joint responsibility, working in partnership with you to provide the best possible education for your child.
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Boroondara Park Primary School. Our school is a place where curiosity is encouraged, learning is celebrated, and every child is known, valued, and supported.
At the heart of our work is a strong belief in the power of community connection. We know that students flourish when they feel a sense of belonging, and we aim to foster positive relationships built on respect, trust, and shared purpose. Our school community is strengthened by the active involvement of our families, and we warmly encourage parents to take part in school life—whether through excursions, classroom assistance, sporting events, or joining our working bees.
We hold high expectations for all learners. At Boroondara Park, we are deeply committed to maintaining strong standards of academic achievement, personal development, and behaviour. Our approach is grounded in the belief that every child is capable of excellence when given the right support and opportunities.
A central focus of our teaching and learning program is on the essentials: literacy and numeracy. These foundational skills open doors for all future learning, and our staff work collaboratively to deliver research‑based, high‑quality instruction across all year levels. Alongside this, we are committed to meeting students at their point of need, ensuring each child receives targeted support, challenge, and encouragement
As principal, I value open, respectful, and proactive communication. Strong partnerships between home and school create the best outcomes for children, and I encourage families to reach out to us at any time. My open‑door policy means I am always happy to meet with parents to discuss concerns, share ideas, or simply connect.
I look forward to working together with you to support the success and wellbeing of every child in our care. Thank you for being an active and valued part of the Boroondara Park Primary School community.
Yours sincerely,
Anthony Rowe
