Forest Lodge Public School
Forest Lodge Public School was established in 1883. It enjoys a reputation for producing students with high academic results, excellence in literacy and numeracy teaching, an emphasis on the visual and performing arts, and a strong and caring support for students' welfare needs. The school recognises the cultural and socio-economic diversity of its community, striving for excellence and tolerance. Our school ethos places emphasis on caring for individual needs in a safe, active and high-interest learning environment. Forest Lodge Public School is a happy school where students show respect, tolerance and understanding of individual differences and where the academic and creative potential of each student is fostered in a climate of responsibility and the pursuit of excellence. The school has an active and very supportive Parents and Citizens Association and offers a variety of programs including children's philosophy, choir, band, public speaking and debating, participation in external academic and arts competitions, dance, gymnastics and a differentiated curriculum for gifted and talented students. A copy of the Annual Report, parent newsletters and photographs of recent school events is available on the school website.
We recognise the Ongoing Custodians of the lands and waterways where we work and live. We pay respect to Elders past and present as ongoing teachers of knowledge, songlines and stories. We strive to ensure every Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander learner in NSW achieves their potential through education.
