Welcome to Willamstown North Primary School. We are a school which .

We believe that the key to success for our children is achieved through a shared partnership between home, school and links with the local and wider community. Parents are encouraged to be active partners in the classroom. On a daily basis you will find parents assisting with activities such as hearing children read, journal writing, mathematics, cooking, sporting and special school events.

BHPS is committed to nurturing the academic and social development of every child. It is the school’s philosophy that every student can learn and that necessary growth is achieved by ensuring that:

  • the educational program caters for children of varying abilities
  • students develop self-discipline and commit themselves to their studies
  • students respect themselves, each other and their world
  • the pursuit of academic, sporting and artistic excellence, and social responsibility, are acknowledged and rewarded.

BHPS strives to build a learning community with parents and teachers as partners in the educational process.

Parents, staff and students share a common goal: the commitment to educational excellence and personal growth. In partnership, we have developed a distinctive philosophy based on the maximisation of individual potential and the recognition that we are a community of learners.

We are committed to offering learning opportunities that promote a thinking culture, cater for individual learning styles, engage and extend our students, develop independence, resilience and collaborative learning.


From the very first day at school Bentleigh West children enter a caring community. Equipping our students with social skills and values is a vital component of our school curriculum and all aspects of school community life at Bentleigh West.
