Bert Oldfield Public School
Bert Oldfield Public School is a dynamic, caring and successful educational centre. The school, named after the famous Australian cricketer, has been operating successfully in the Seven Hills area since 1959. Set in spacious grounds, the school's buildings and gardens are attractive and well maintained. The school population comes from a diverse range of national and cultural backgrounds. At present, over 62% of students come from a language background other than English with 28 nationalities represented at the school speaking over 40 different languages. Many of these children are refugees. The dedicated, highly qualified teaching staff, assisted by the support staff and school community, have developed a core curriculum and special programs designed to achieve positive educational outcomes for students. Community involvement and participation are encouraged as an integral part of school life. Our school provides a quality learning environment which encourages all students to acquire the knowledge, skills and desirable attitudes necessary for a successful productive life. We are committed to our school motto 'Learn to Live'and making a difference for every child.
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.
