Approach to Learning

At BHNPS we support the Victorian Governments Principles of Learning and Teaching that states students learn best when:

  • The learning environment is supportive and productive
  • The learning environment promotes independence, interdependence and self-motivation
  • Students’ needs, backgrounds, perspectives and interests are reflected in the learning program
  • Students are challenged and supported to develop deep levels of thinking and application
  • Assessment practices are an integral part of teaching and learning
  • Learning connects strongly with communities and practice beyond the classroom

Testimonials

It is refreshing that fathers are just as welcome as mothers in school life. From Kindergarten where I have the opportunity to participate in my youngest boy’s class to school camp that I was fortunate to attend, I have always been encouraged and warmly welcomed. I have also thoroughly enjoyed participating in class room help for all my boys.

The move into the grade 5/6 area which is separate from the rest of the school gives the kids a real sense of being the ‘big kids’ and is a start to their transition to secondary school and being more responsible.

The school garden is such a fantastic feature of our school. Garden Club students have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of gardening from the role of healthy soil to how to use silverbeet to make delicious pizzas. Science, nutrition and sustainability are explored in a truly hands on environment.

We run a progressive and innovative technology program to produce true 21st Century Citizens. Students in Prep enjoy using iPads and students in the senior school will be instructed with Ultrabooks as a part of our 1-to-1 program.
