About the school
Artarmon Public School was founded in 1910 and occupies a split site, welcoming a diverse student population with approximately 72% of pupils from a language background other than English. The school is known for its strong academic reputation, particularly as a hub for four opportunity classes. Catering to students in Years K-6, Artarmon Public School prioritises a rich educational experience with an emphasis on music and physical education programs.
The school's community is actively involved in school life, supported by a dedicated Parents and Citizens group that engages in various committees, including Uniform, Gardening, Traffic, Environmental, Band, and Multicultural initiatives. Enhancing the learning experience, each classroom is equipped with an Interactive Whiteboard, highlighting the school's commitment to integrating technology into education.
In recent years, significant refurbishments occurred, culminating in the completion of a new three-storey building that includes 21 flexible teaching spaces, a dedicated library, and improved amenities. This development enhances the school’s capacity to accommodate its growing population.
Artarmon Public School aims to provide a collaborative, inclusive environment where students feel safe and valued, fostering confidence and a passion for learning. The school promotes parental involvement and community engagement, ensuring that education is a shared responsibility. Looking ahead, the school is excited to build on its century-long legacy, continuing to adapt and evolve to meet the needs of its students and community.
