Hornsby North Public School
Situated in the leafy northern Sydney suburb of Hornsby, approximately 30km from the centre of the city, Hornsby North Public School provides for students in Kindergarten though to Year 6. Hornsby North Public School is a student-centred school. It is a place where student needs are a priority, where opportunities to participate in a variety of activities exist, and where lifelong learning is a feature of programs designed to ensure that the potential of all students is realised. The school's mission statement 'Caring for children, educating for life' was developed in consultation with teachers and parents. Our mission is to educate students as confident, life long learners. This is achieved by providing a comprehensive educational curriculum with an emphasis on literacy, numeracy and technology and by developing a caring school, with positive student welfare programs and a team of committed professional educators working together with students in a safe, supportive, challenging and friendly learning environment. Individual talents and gifts are recognised and nurtured, parent community participation in the school is encouraged and pride in public education is fostered.
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.
