BELLAIRE PRIMARY SCHOOL

What BELLAIRE PRIMARY SCHOOL does

Bellaire Primary School is a Victorian state government primary school located at 59-71 Larcombe Street, Highton, Geelong, Victoria. The school serves approximately 615 students across 29 home groups from Foundation (Prep) through Year 6, organised into four learning communities (Prep, Junior Years 1-2, Middle Years 3-4, Senior Years 5-6). It delivers the Victorian Curriculum enriched by specialist subjects in French, Physical Education, STEAM, Library, and The Arts, alongside annual camps for Years 3-6 and an Outside School Hours Care service with capacity for 75 before-school and 120 after-school children per session.

The school's operational technology stack centres on three integrations: Compass for school communication, attendance and parent engagement; FullyBooked and My Family Lounge for OSHC bookings and enrolments; and a Bring Your Own Device digital learning program for Years 3-6 with embedded digital technology use from Prep. Bellaire is a member of the Barwon South Schools Network and has established partnerships with local pre-schools (Foundation pipeline), local secondary schools (Year 7 transition), named camp providers (YMCA Camp Wyuna, Log Cabin Camp, Kangaroobie, Melbourne City Camp), and approved uniform and stationery suppliers.

The business model is hybrid public. Core educational delivery is funded through the Victorian Department of Education and Training per-capita and operational grants; secondary revenue comes from parent payments (curriculum materials, booklists via Paperchase Office National, optional programs) and OSHC fees (Before School Care $13/session including breakfast, After School Care $20/session including afternoon tea, Curriculum Day Care $65/full day, $1/min late pick-up). Enrolment is governed by DET placement policy with guaranteed placement for in-zone families, positioning Bellaire as a zone-anchored public provider rather than a market-rate competitor.
