At Brunswick North Primary School, we celebrate the strong, collaborative relationships between our school, families and the wider community.
Our school forms a strong and integral part of the vibrant Brunswick community. Brunswick North Primary School values and actively seeks community partnerships and input.
Our most important ties are with our families. We know the closer we work together, the better the outcomes we achieve for our students. Your involvement enriches our school community and enhances the educational experience for all students. By establishing a connected school community, it is hoped parents feel they can approach school leadership to share an idea, or discuss a concern.

This can be as simple as dropping into ‘The Wick Café for coffee on Friday, attending a school assembly, or signing up for a shift as classroom helper.

… or join a subcommittee
Subcommittees at Brunswick North Primary School are more than just an opportunity to help out – volunteering on a subcommittee is a constructive way to make positive change at the school. These are the spaces where key decisions are made, where the future of the school is shaped, and where you can be part of creating a community that reflects the values and experiences you want for your kids. It’s a fun and rewarding way to get involved and a chance to meet new friends and make a lasting difference in your child’s school experience.
