Coonabarabran Public School
Coonabarabran Public School is renowned for its academic, cultural, sporting and welfare programs, all focusing on the needs and care of all students. Supportive networks between teachers, students and parents are well established. These ensure that students' personal and academic needs are met. The school emphasises literacy programs and is particularly focused on early intervention within this area. Coonabarabran Public School is recognised by the wider school community as being in the forefront in performing and creative arts programs. The school has also been recognised for displaying best practice in the integration of students with special needs into mainstream classes, as well as for the outstanding technology resources available in the school. Local attractions such as the Warrumbungle National Park, Siding Spring Observatory and Burra Bee Dee Mission are utilised in educational programs offered by the school. To support Coonabarabran as the 'Astronomy Capital of Australia', the school has house names to give them an astronomical theme. They are Asteroids, Comets, Meteorites and Satellites.
