Avalon Public School
Avalon Public School is located at the northern end of the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The school is renowned in its local community for providing K to 6 education of the highest quality. Characterised by a sense of community and a strong welfare focus, parents, staff and community members unite to support students across a range of educational endeavours aimed at building their self-esteem and confidence. Learning programs target development in traditional areas of the curriculum and the acquisition of life long learning skills. Welfare programs develop leadership, co-operation and the responsibilities of living in a diverse society. Our commitment to technology-assisted learning enables students to learn in a supportive local setting, with the benefits of linking globally. There is a strong focus on sport, the performing arts and making healthy life-style choices. The school is large enough to provide a rich variety of programs to extend and enhance student growth whilst retaining a family/village atmosphere in which the individual student is recognised and understood. It is within this supportive environment and culture that individual personalities and intelligences are developed.
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.
