Middleton Grange Public School

Middleton Grange Public School, its students and staff are proud advocates for public education. The school opened in 2009 in a new and developing suburb in the western Liverpool area and is part of the New Schools Public Private Partnership Program. The school has an increasing mainstream population in addition to three special education support classes. Middleton Grange Public School has been founded on proud Aboriginal and Australian history and achievement, particularly in the area of aviation. Our community is active and inclusive. We recognise the vital partnership between home and school in achieving growth and development for all individuals. At Middleton Grange Public School we regularly acknowledge and celebrate the achievement and effort of all students. The school’s wellbeing and discipline policy engenders pride, is based on the core values of NSW Public Schools (integrity, respect, responsibility, cooperation, excellence, fairness, participation, democracy and care), and encourages students to be safe and respectful learners and citizens. All our staff meet the professional requirements for teaching in NSW Public Schools. Staff are enthusiastic, experienced and dedicated to supporting each student to achieve positive learning outcomes through quality teaching, and to be equipped for their future learning. Comprehensive programs in literacy, numeracy, technology, the arts and the environment form an integral part of the teaching and learning cycle. Varied cultural and sporting endeavours are also a feature of the school. Diversity of cultural heritage is acknowledged and respected and approximately 60% of students enrolled come from a language background other than English. The school is an active member of the Cowpasture Community of Schools, along with seven other local schools (Austral, Badgerys Creek, Bringelly, Horsley Park, Kemps Creek, Leppington, Rossmore Public Schools). These schools work together to provide support and greater diversity of opportunities for students and staff. Shared activities across the community of schools include performing arts and sports events, student leadership activities and combined teacher professional development. Middleton Grange Public School is committed to providing a safe and happy learning environment that fosters interdependence and a sense of hope. Together the students, staff and families are building and creating the foundations of community, learning and wellbeing - this is an ongoing, joyous journey.
