Burra Community School Burra Community School highly values student wellbeing. We offer an extensive agriculture program. Come join us.

Burra Community School offers a broad academic curriculum for students from Reception to Year 12. We value 'Respect, Responsibility and Honesty', and student wellbeing is a strong focus of our school. While BCS has a proud tradition of strong academic achievement and sporting success, our specialist area of focus is agriculture. We offer amazing learning experiences in agricultural science, running a successful 400 acre commercial farm called Brewery Hill. Students receive the very best exposure to the agricultural industry through our program. BCS also offers a fantastic, highly affordable, welcoming boarding facility called Goyder House. It caters for a range of students from those who live in remote locations or simply come to us to take advantage of the excellent education programs we offer. With small class sizes, innovative and enthusiastic teachers and the beautiful sprawling grounds of our historic school, BCS offers an environment of inspiration, ingenuity, support and flexibility for all students.
