Yamba Public School
Yamba is a well known holiday destination on the north coast of New South Wales.The local economy revolves around traditional employment such as fishing, manufacturing and farming and also an ever growing hospitality industry. Yamba Public School caters for the needs of students from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. The community has high expectations for their children and therefore high expectations of their local school.Opportunities are offered to all students in a wide variety of academic and sporting activities as well as in extra curricular activities, such as drama and music. The school's guiding statement emphasises the provision of an ideal learning environment, the development of life long learning skills and the individual needs of students. The school will ensure each child's learning is maximised by providing a secure, caring and co-operative environment. Students are encouraged to reach their full potential by learning how to learn in a supportive environment and being aware and responsible to others and to themselves. The school motto :'Respect: Learn it, Earn it ,Show it', appropriately sums up what we seek to achieve at Yamba Public School.
