Harbord Public School
Harbord Public School is situated on the Northern Beaches of Sydney and is located in the suburb of Freshwater. The school has a strong tradition of community support and involvement through shared decision making and parental participation in school activities. Harbord Public School places a strong emphasis on extending student literacy and numeracy performance and has a proud history of outstanding achievement in creative arts and sport. We aim to ensure that all our students gain the knowledge and skills they need to become active and creative participants in society. The school has a strong reputation for providing quality education in a caring, supportive and physically attractive environment. The school has excellent modern facilities and is situated on large grounds. Our key purpose is to deepen a school culture in which students are academically challenged and actively engaged within a socially responsible environment. A focus on excellence in teaching and learning encourages students to think, explore and express their ideas. Literacy, numeracy and student engagement using technology are priority areas.
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.
