Welcome to Buddina State School, a vibrant and caring primary school where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive.  

At Buddina, we combine outstanding academic outcomes with a strong sense of belonging. We believe strong relationships are the foundation of great learning. From Prep to Year 6, our students grow in confidence, capability and character within a safe and inclusive environment where they feel a genuine sense of belonging. 

Our work is guided by three pillars: Belonging, Engaging and Learning. When students feel connected, they engage deeply, and when they are engaged, strong learning follows. We are proud of the academic growth our students achieve and the positive culture that underpins it.  

We hold high expectations for both achievement and behaviour through our Positive Behaviour for Learning framework and our Buddina Caring Values: Care for Self, Care for Others, Care for Learning and Care for Our School. These values underpin a culture of respect, responsibility and pride.  

In partnership with families, we prepare our students not just for high school, but for life as confident, capable and compassionate young people. 

 

We look forward to welcoming you into our Buddina community. 

 

Mr Russell Thompson  ​​
