Belmore Boys' High School is a family of approximately 640 students and 70 teaching and non-teaching staff, located in Southwest Sydney. Our diverse student population represents 35 languages with 98% of students from language backgrounds other than English. With a FOI is 142 and ICSEA is 948, the school's dedicated staff are driven by their commitment to equity through excellence. Our school specialises in boys' education, focusing on the academic, social and emotional growth of our students. Our boys enjoy positive relationships with their teachers and peers, allowing them to be creative and confident learners who recognise the importance of learning and well-being. The BBHS learning environment provides students with tailored learning experiences through planned, explicit and differentiated learning activities. BBHS also offers a wide curriculum allowing students to successfully transition into a diverse range of future learning and employment opportunities.
A comprehensive and vigorous situational analysis was conducted in 2020, leading to the development of the 2021-2024 School Plan. The analysis resulted in the identification of three main focus areas. The areas are: • Student Growth and Attainment • Staff Engagement and Learning • Community Engagement and Learning.
The focus areas revolve around building student capacity in literacy and numeracy through explicit and remedial strategies to improve student access to curriculum. Building teacher capacity will empower staff and ensure a long-term wider impact on student outcomes as students work towards achieving the requirements of their HSC. Our school takes pride in being an inclusive community, working closely with local partners to ensure success for our students. We aim to excel in our level of responsiveness and service delivery over the next planning phase
