Bourke Public School consists of 209 students, 69% of whom are of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent. Bourke Public School has an active Parents and Citizens committee which provides extensive support to the school. We also have a highly supportive Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG).

Bourke Public School receives funding through the National Partnerships Low SES, Schools in Partnership (SIPS), Priority Schools Program (PSP) and the Country Areas Program (CAP) which allows for extra programs to be implemented supporting both Aboriginal students and students in isolated areas.

Bourke Public School has an experienced, passionate and innovative staff that is committed to the ongoing enhancement of our school. The school staff of 30 employees consists of school executive, classroom teachers, reading recovery, Aboriginal Education Resource teachers, teacher’s aides, administrative staff and grounds staff.

Bourke Public School has a focus on the teaching of Literacy and Numeracy programs to students in our school to enhance their knowledge and skills in these focus areas.
