| Beechboro Primary is a community school which offers a positive learning environment for its students and a supportive environment for teachers and parents. It was established in 1988 and is close to major transport links and secondary institutions. The school has very close ties with its community and has high expectations of student behavioural and academic achievement. SOCIO-ECONOMIC BACKGROUND OF STUDENTS Our feeder areas comprise mostly new homes, mainly at the economy end of the housing market, with Homeswest homes making up 18a0of the total. Approximately 42a0of our families receive two incomes, 40a0live off one income and 18a0receive some form of social security. Almost one third of our children live with only one of their natural parents and many of these are involved in a de-facto relationship. Employment of our parents can be classified as 8a0in professional positions, 42a0are blue collar workers, 20a0are white collar workers, 11a0are employed in service industries and 19a0are unemployed. Many families have moved into their first permanent home. ETHNICITY OF STUDENTS Beechboro is a real 'league of nations' with 52 families speaking another language other than English. Seventy children at this school are either bi-lingual or tri-lingual. The majority are born into Non-English speaking families. This presents us with a tremendous educational challenge. Beechboro Primary has an ESL Teacher and three Ethnic Educational Assistants covering 8 languages. ABORIGINAL STUDENTS The number of Aboriginal students who attend this school does vary. We have the services of an AEIO, Mrs Debbie O'Hara, an active ASSPA Committee and homework classes run twice weekly. MOBILITY OF STUDENTS Many children who enrol at Beechboro have been in numerous schools for short periods prior to coming here, and this has had an unsettling and disruptive influence on their educational progress. For example 11a0of our children attended 2 schools in the 12 months prior to coming to Beechboro and 3a0had attended 3 or more schools. | ||||
