Frederickton Public School

Frederickton Public School is a safe and friendly school that promotes a love of learning, celebrates successes and develops a strong sense of values and community pride. At Frederickton Public School we believe that the physical environment plays an integral role in the education of our students. Our attractive grounds, beautiful heritage listed buildings and spacious modern classrooms offer multiple opportunities for art, science, music and movement. Our diverse curriculum has always had a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy. A focus on successful learning is achieved through explicit teaching and the utilisation of innovative classroom practices enabling all students to enhance their learning outcomes. At Frederickton Public School student data and classroom practice drive student learning. We focus on developing the key competencies required for lifelong learning in a changing world. Where required, student learning is enriched through extension programs and specialised support. A culture of equity is evident and maintained in our school through comprehensive programs that are tailored to meet the diverse learning needs of all students. While academic excellence is highly valued, our school is committed to encouraging all students to participate in a wide range of learning activities - academic, social and emotional. Leadership development is also seen as a core value and is continually nurtured within our school. Our focus is on developing the 'whole child'. Students participate in stimulating programs in sport, dance, band and choir. Values such as honesty, respect and kindness are modelled and in evidence at our school. The notions of being safe, being responsible and being respectful underpin our pastoral care practices and play a vital role in creating a positive culture within our school and, importantly, our community. Our school places great importance on fostering a true sense of community. Collaborative partnerships with our parents and the broader community enhance each child's educational experience. Frederickton Public School is a proud member of the Macleay Educational Community of Schools, a group of public schools committed to working together to provide the best possible education for all students. We utilise the expertise available within our schools to benefit all students within our care.
