We provide a safe and supportive learning environment where children feel a strong sense of belonging and connection. Bambara Primary School has a community feel. We genuinely care for all of our students and families.
As a Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) School, we have developed whole-school expectations underpinned by our three values: be respectful, be safe, and be your best. Our students are valued for contributing to the school community, and we actively promote student voice and leadership.
We support every child by creating opportunities to collaborate and partner with parents, the local community, and external agencies to maximise opportunities to learn, student engagement and attendance.
