Burrowes State School

If your looking for a school that is only about the curriculum then this is the school for you. This is our third year and this teacher (who has just been promoted to junior principle) wasn't very interested in teaching my son to benefit him most (he has difficulty relaying what he has learnt to paper but is verbally intelligent) if your child excells then they will do good here. Next year I will be taking a different approach with my son to make sure he is being taught the way that benefits his most!

If I could give one star I would, don't enrol your children here if they have been diagnosed with any disability. Months and months of no support, they asked for a diagnosis letter and they still didn't support her at all. I get emails from teachers at 7:30pm at night to inform me that my child has failed assessments. I should have been contacted. She came home with multiple empty school books like she hasn't been learning anything. Asked for all of her belongings and her school report and never received them.

Daughter in yr 6 and Grandson in Prep, great Public Primary School, teachers and staff are really lovely, great range on tuckshop menu thats available ever day, very affordable before and after school care, the best break up party's, we have had 3 older children that went to different primaries and who have finished school and none of the other schools were even half as good as Burrowes. Wished we moved into the catchment area earlier but hey if your in the catchment area I strongly recommend that you have a look at this gem.

Im only giving 1 star as this school is really bad for bullying. My daughter has been bullied by a certain student for 2 years and nothing gets done about it! Im sick of my kids coming home depressed, telling me they had the worst day ever. If a child is going to bully another child they should be expelled on the spot with no warnings! Another thing i dont like is they always seem to have relief teacher's, the relief teachers dont care about helping the students with their work, its like they only fill in so they can get paid, not because they are passionate about what they do. Teachers and office staff are friendly that's about all that is positive with this school.
