Welcome from our principal
Welcome to Burraneer Bay PS. My name is Victoria Pantelis and I am the very proud Principal of this great school.
Our school vision is that we are leaders in learning. Our aim is to prepare students for the future by providing a supportive learning community where all students are encouraged to be successful learners, taught by skilled teachers in a successful school environment.
Our aim is to develop students with the capacity to become independent and critical thinkers who are literate, numerate, creative, technologically skilled and lifelong learners.
The school’s values are: Integrity, respect, personal best, friendliness, fairness and responsibility.
Burraneer Bay Public School is a K-6 primary school that has a strong reputation for high quality academic, sporting and cultural programs. The local community values education and we value the support we receive from our community on a daily basis.
We recognise the importance of the journey we share with our community in supporting students’ growth, and we are committed to preparing them for their future years ahead.
