AddressBrewarrina Central School is located 800kms north-west of Sydney and caters for 110 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. 99% of students identify as Aboriginal. There is a continued focus on strengthening school/community partnerships, supported by the Connected Communities Strategy, SRG (School Reference Group) and AECG (Aboriginal Education Consultative Group). The Senior Leader Community Engagement (SLCE) works closely with the school and community to facilitate communication and participation. Our school currently has 23 teachers and 21 administration and support staff, which includes additional staff employed through school-based funding to better support the learning needs of our students.
The school embraces the local Ngemba culture and language and recognises and values the cultures of all people who live in the Brewarrina area. Brewarrina Central School is well supported by its families and the wider community. The school leadership team is cohesive and dedicated with a wide range of educational experience.
The school has excellent facilities, which include well–maintained classrooms in pleasant, green surroundings. The school has recently updated our High School uniform as well as upgrading our PBL signage to further support our Behaviour Strategy. Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) continues to support the school's learning culture and whole school processes. It enhances staff capacity to reflect on practice and promotes a consistent approach across the school. Students are acknowledged for their positive contributions to the school and learning. There are partnerships with external agencies such as universities, RTOs, Clontarf, NASCA and NGOs including health & well-being services. These key partnerships support Brewarrina Central School to achieve better outcomes for our students.
