Balmain Public School
Positioned in the heart of the Balmain Peninsula, Balmain Public School is a rapidly growing, dynamic and innovative inner city school, known locally as the 'school in the park'. Gladstone Park is an extension of our teaching and learning spaces. The school currently has an enrolment of 314 students, including 35% from a non-English speaking background with 13 classes, including 2 Opportunity Classes. The school is staffed by dedicated, enthusiastic and supportive teachers, who deliver highly effective, quality teaching and learning programs, underpinned by the school's targets and vision. There is an increasing emphasis on developing the creative arts curriculum, parallel to the academic curriculum. Staff, students and an actively involved community, promote and value open and collaborative communication, in order to meet the needs of our 21st Century learners, aiming at developing to their full potential.
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.
