Smithfield Public School
Smithfield Public School was established in 1850. We aim to provide an inclusive learning environment within a culturally diverse community in which all students are encouraged to reach their full learning potential. Our school motto 'Strive for the Best' encapsulates the ethos of our school. We promote the values of honesty, fairness, cooperation, care and excellence. Our school offers strong academic, creative, social and sporting programs for students from Preschool to Year 6. Other classes include a selective OC class for gifted and talented students, classes for students with disabilities and an Early Intervention Program for preschool children with disabilities. We offer Quality Learning programs delivered by qualified teachers in well-resourced classrooms where technology is easily accessible. Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Vietnamese language programs are offered, and there is strong support for English as a Second Language learners and those requiring learning assistance. Leadership opportunities include a Student Representative Council. The school has excellent programs to support student wellbeing, a well resourced preschool program and spacious grounds for play.
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.
