Uralla Central School
Uralla Central School, situated 25km from Armidale in the New England region of NSW, is a proudly public, rural and coeducational school catering for students from K-12. Public education has played a role in the Uralla community since 1862 and we have been on our current site since 1868. The school has approximately 338 students including 25% Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students. Uralla Central School provides a quality education that offers inclusive, relevant and integrated curriculum; high quality educational programs across the full range of academic ability; a range of Vocational Education Training (VET) opportunities; and quality creative and performing arts, co-curricular, sporting and personal development programs. The school has implemented a compressed HSC delivery model which broadens and strengthens school curriculum, and increases its relevance for students. The school enjoys strong and effective links between parents, carers and the wider community. The school community embraces innovation and forward thinking vision, and in 2016 completely restructured the school organisation and executive roles. Faculties were abolished. Heads of School now oversee the Junior (K-4), Middle (5-8) and Senior School (9-Academy II). The remaining executive oversee Wellbeing, Administration/Organisation and, Curriculum Design and Innovation. As a school community we expect everyone to ‘Stand tall and walk proud.’
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.
