Bluff Point Primary School is a Level 5 school that has been successful in achieving Independent Public School status as of 2015. It is part of the Midwest Education Region. Current student enrollment figures are approximately 270 from Kindergarten to Year 6. With enrollments drawn from Aboriginal, non-aboriginal, migrant and non-English speaking backgrounds, we pride ourselves on our collaborative, multicultural and inclusive environment.

The school places particular emphasis on developing quality teaching, early childhood education, literacy and numeracy, attendance, and home, school and community relationships. The school is supported by a dedicated staff ranging in experience from graduates through to 30 years at the school. This depth and breadth of experience ensures all students and staff 'Strive for the Highest' to reach their potential. Learning occurs within a safe, caring and supportive learning environment. With a full commitment, from all, to a continual process of self -assessment and improvement, we persistently monitor our progress and performance within three broad areas of Pedagogy, Ethos and Partnerships. Staff are committed to working collaboratively through a Professional Learning Community approach.

Students 'Voice' is encouraged through the appointment of Student Leaders, Students Councillors, Faction Captains, surveys, as well as other leadership opportunities. Student Councillors meet regularly with Administration staff to bring forward issues and ideas identified by the student population.

Our P&C is an energetic and enthusiastic team who are committed to supporting the school in many varied ways such as running our health promoting canteen three days a week, fundraising for Senior Camps, Playgrounds and resources for the Early Childhood area. We are appreciative of the families and community volunteers who support the school and students.
