Macksville Public School
Our school is situated in Macksville, which is a North Coast town on the banks of the Nambucca River, 12 kilometres from the mouth of the river. Macksville has a population of 4000 and is the political centre of the Nambucca Shire. Our school was established in 1875 and some of the original buildings (on the current site), still in use, are of historical significance. At Macksville Public School we strive for excellence and the acceptance of responsibility through the provision of a happy, secure, attractive and caring environment. Macksville Public School provides quality education in a personal and professional environment. Community partnerships are valued and widely promoted. The school is highly regarded within the local and wider community. Our students experience a wide range of extracurricular and sporting activities. There is a strong focus on literacy and numeracy programs. Our school actively promotes a culture of high expectations where students, staff and community's pride in the school is evident and where things are done 'The Macksville Way'.
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.
