2010 School Term Dates

The Staff, Board of Trustees and the community of Bombay School welcome you and your family to the Bombay School Website.  We hope if your children are enrolled at our school that your time involved with our school will be worthwhile, rewarding and enjoyable.

Our school is part of the Bombay district.  It is specifically designed for the education of children, who are bound to attend for 197 days each year, but also serves to involve parents with staff and children during each year.  The school community demonstrates pride in its school and offers great support for its many activities.  The Bombay community has high expectations of the school, and close involvement is encouraged whenever possible.

Whilst special functions such as sports days, assemblies and concerts are organised for sharing together, every day parents have the opportunity to contact the school and should feel at ease in communicating joys, queries and concerns.  The staff believe that close contact and co-operation between home and school is vital for effective growth, and welcome parental contact and assistance with class work, sporting and cultural activities.  We work to make the school effective in its dealings, exercising our professional judgement to be helpful, diplomatic and tactful within all relationships.

Bombay is a full Primary School catering for Years 1 - 8.   There is a teaching staff of seventeen teachers and thirteen classrooms (fourteen from the start of Term Three).  The roll varies between approximately 300 and 350 pupils.
