Harcourt Public School
Harcourt Public School provides quality teaching and learning programs which aim to develop in our students a love of learning and the skills to become effective in scholastic, social and emotional learning. Harcourt has a safe, caring and supportive environment where students are encouraged to explore their learning, to become involved and to be risk-takers as they gain responsibility for their learning. Staff recognise that individuals learn at different rates and at different times and provide explicit teaching instruction to cater for the diverse learning styles and needs of the students. We embrace Quality Teaching protocols to encourage this student involvement and responsibility. Harcourt also has excellent programs in student welfare, student and staff leadership and in encouraging people to achieve their best. The student population is diverse with 93% having a language background other than English. The school has a rich and diverse community that takes pride in our achievements and our positive learning environment.
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.
