Dorrigo Public School
The physical, cultural and environmental qualities of Dorrigo Public School provide a supportive atmosphere in which children can learn. A motivation to 'Strive for Excellence' results from quality teaching and learning, broadened cultural perspectives, competence in literacy and numeracy, and encouragement of creativity. Our programs promote self-esteem and 'risk taking' in a caring and secure environment with value placed on self-discipline. The established concept of our school community will be further enhanced through participation and communication in decision-making on a partner basis. Working together, the school and community aim to be partners in education. Dorrigo Public School is also a proud and active member of the Bellinger Dorrigo Learning Comunity contributing to, utilising and supporting the educational talents and expertise of our local Public Schools.
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.
