Barellan Central School is a K-12 school with an enrolment of approximately 130 students located in the Northern Riverina of NSW approximately 60km from the regional centres of Griffith and Leeton. The school aims to develop positive, caring students who set high expectations and persevere to achieve their potential in all areas. The holistic philosophy at Barellan Central School recognises and supports the individual academic needs of each student whilst also focusing on the development of creative, cultural and sporting pursuits.
Barellan Central School has developed an outstanding technology platform to integrate technology into teaching and learning and has an intense focus on the delivery of a high quality curriculum to meet the needs of all students. The focus is reflected in our school plan through an emphasis on Quality Teaching and the effective integration of technology into teaching and learning via our 21st Century Pedagogy for E-Learning action research project. The school utilises a Modular Object Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) to coordinate learning programs that can be accessed by our learning community at all times. The focus on 21st Century teaching and learning also calls for a focus on digital citizenship which is a major focus on our student wellbeing program.
