Drummoyne Public School

Drummoyne Public School is a dynamic kindergarten to year 6 inner west primary school which plays a vital role in shaping the lives and learning of our students. Our school shares this responsibility with devoted parents, carers and the Drummoyne community. Together we provide outstanding public education committed to developing future-focused learners through employing evidence based practices. The school has an enrolment of 621 students including 44 percent from language backgrounds other than English. There are 41 languages or cultural groups identified. To enhance the learning and wellbeing of all students, three core values of resilience, respect, and responsibility (3R's) are embedded across the school through the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) process and rewards system. Our students showcase their talents through extra-curricular programs including choirs, bands, strings, music, dance, chess, debating and representative sport. The community languages of Greek and Italian further enrich the curriculum. Our school enjoys a cohesive mix of experienced and early career teachers who work collaboratively in grade and stage teams to implement high quality contemporary teaching practice. This is achieved through a carefully planned and resourced professional learning program based on school and system priorities, student performance data and staff identified need. Our parents are valued partners and are actively involved in the life of the school with high expectations of teaching and learning and high aspirations for their children. The P & C and parent community work in strong partnership with the school fulfilling governance roles and providing excellent leadership of the community and financial support for the school. The NSW School Family Occupation and Employment Index (FOEI) for 2018 was a value of 1, compared with the NSW average of 100, reflecting high parent education levels, occupation and income levels.
