Somersby Public School
Somersby Public School has an inclusive and caring school community, where every student is provided with opportunities to excel. Parents are involved in many different aspects of school life and are greatly appreciated. Our families feel a sense of belonging and associations with the school are very rewarding. Our school community is actively involved in decision-making through the School Council and the Parents and Citizens. Somersby Public School is a small, semi-rural school located approximately 10 kilometres from Gosford. Well-trained professional staff work with students in the utilisation of computers and interactive Smartboards in the classrooms and library to enhance curriculum delivery. The school hall is used for band, dance, drama and the regular interactive assemblies which are hosted by Year 6 Student Leaders. Our generously spacious grounds allow for sports such as cricket, all football codes, basketball and games or students can choose to use the state-of-the-art playground equipment. Vegetables and fruit trees are grown in our environmental area where organic fertiliser is used from the worm farm to fertilise our gardens.
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.
