Bowral Public School strives to be a leading primary school in the Southern Highlands through emphasising the fundamental importance of basic skills development for all students; by providing regular opportunities for students to develop and demonstrate their talents and interests in all curricula; and by promoting social responsibility. The school's prime purpose, emphasised by its motto: "Striving, Thinking, Learning", and modelled through the commitment of teachers and parents, is the provision of quality learning opportunities, enabling students to perform to the best of their abilities. Teachers are increasing their effectiveness by meeting in teams to develop common learning programs, utilise unique or shared knowledge and skills, and develop common assessment and reporting practices.
