Oberon Public School
Oberon Public School is situated on the Great Dividing Range 190kms west of Sydney. It is 1113 metres above sea level and has a cold climate with winter snowfalls. Oberon is an industrial town in a rural setting with timber being the dominant industry. The school was established in 1872 and re-established as a primary school in 1993, after having been a central school since 1944. The school grounds are attractive with sheltered play equipment, grassed areas and many trees. Teachers personally value each student in their care and promote a warm family atmosphere. Our school community maintains as its vision "Learning in a Caring and Sharing Environment". The school provides students with the opportunity to achieve academic excellence in a safe, happy and dynamic setting. Quality teaching and learning programs develop all our students as life-long learners, with high self-esteem and strong co-operative working skills. The school offers special programs for gifted and talented students, learning assistance, peer support, band, recorder, choir, sporting activities and cultural excursions. These all promote learning and development of the whole child.
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.
