Murwillumbah East Public School
At Murwillumbah East we achieve outstanding success in the basics of literacy and numeracy whilst valuing a full school life that sets the same expectations when pursuing academic goals, pulling on a football jumper, playing a trumpet or heading off on excursions. We believe in establishing sound foundations while lighting the fires for future growth. Strong traditions breed values of integrity, tolerance and respect, while highly committed staff delivers an innovative curriculum promoting curiosity and self-worth. We are fortunate with our extensive grounds, exceptional facilities and dedicated staff who, in building relationships of trust, create the space for children to question, initiate and lead. The school has an exceptional reputation for academic performance, sporting results, musical and drama productions and artistic development. Examples include: 6 higher Distinctions, 18 Distinctions and 42 Credits in the ICAS assessments; access to bike education, art identification workshops, Competitive sports , boys and girls dance programs and adventure excursions; school musical production; specialist support in reading; vibrant Support Unit for students with disabilities. This stimulating and creative environment for learning will be further enhanced in 2011 with programs catering for high performing students. The current academic results of Murwillumbah East students place it as one of the best schools, not only in the region, but across the state.
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.
