Burke Ward Public School

Today, Burke Ward paid our respects at the Broken Hill town march and service. Lest we forget.

As the sun sets on our Staff Development Days, we look forward to welcoming students back for Term 2.

Our Burkies had a wonderful Harmony day, superbly led by our student leaders including the Jnr AECG. #harmonyday2026 #everybodybelongs #burkiepride

And we are back! Great to have students on their first day of the 2026 school year.

Today, staff returned to school for four staff development days. We look forward to welcoming all students on Monday 9 February at 9am.

School resumes for our 2026 Burkies on Monday 9th Feb. Office will be open from 12pm Tuesday 3rd Feb.

What a fabulous Party Day! So many amazing party boxes filled with treats. Santa came to visit in the morning session with Mrs Robins and Mrs Ryan assisting the big man in the red suit to hand out gifts and letters to students.

BWPS staff were the final act of the Talent Quest today, much to the students’ delight. Chickens, bananas and a cow? #burkiepride @NSWEducation
