The Junction Public School
The Junction Public School situated in inner city Newcastle, enjoys the advantages of an inner city location being in close proximity to major cultural and commercial enterprises. Our mission and vision statements describe a professional and experienced staff, in educational partnership with parents and the community, committed to providing quality educational experiences for all students. Our school focus is to provide opportunities for students to become independent thinkers, self-directed learners and resilient, caring and innovative individuals. An explicit values framework underpins our student well-being practices as we role-model and encourage students to 'value themselves, value others and value the environment'. The school is strongly committed to strengthening its capacity to deliver broad and high-quality curriculum and technology programs to students and is highly regarded in the region for its academic, cultural and sporting achievements. Outstanding band, music and dance programs are a feature of the school as well as a range of sporting, cultural and environmental activities, further enhancing the positive school culture and inclusive environment.
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.
