​Briar Hill Primary School offers a unique Steiner Influenced Model of education in the outer suburbs of Melbourne. 


​Welcome

We welcome you to our small, Prep to Six school, offering a nurturing learning environment in the tranquil surrounds of our permaculture gardens and natural spaces. Established in 1927, Briar Hill Primary School is in the City of Banyule, between Greensborough and Eltham. Our students and families play an important part in our wonderful, close knit school community. 

We work hard to create vibrant programs that enable our school’s values to be upheld and practised. We recognise that our greatest asset is our children, and we actively foster opportunities for every child to thrive. Our programs, which have a strong Steiner influence, are inquiry-based and enhance children's opportunities for authentic learning.
​
Our school continues to develop whole school approaches which clearly align to the expected Victorian Curriculum standards, and reflect our core focus on quality learning and teaching.

Our programs are based on three interconnected areas of learning, as follows:

Physical, Personal and Social Learning: Students learn about themselves and their place in society. They learn how to stay healthy and active. They develop skills in building social relationships and working with others. Students take responsibility for their learning, and learn about their rights and responsibilities as global citizens.

Discipline-based Learning: Students learn the knowledge, skills and behaviours in the Arts, English, Humanities, Mathematics, Science and other languages.

Interdisciplinary Learning: Students explore different ways of thinking, solving problems and communicating. They learn to use a range of technologies to plan, analyse, evaluate and present their work. Students learn about creativity, design principles and processes.

We are working together to ensure high quality curriculum delivery to support all students to be their best.

Briar Hill Primary School offers a range of specialist programs in addition to core classroom programs.
These include Craft and Art, Science, Singing, Gardening, Cooking, German, and Physical Education. We also offer optional programs in Instrumental Music (visit Music)
