About the school
Mona Vale Public School is a large, dynamic, and energetic primary school located on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. The school prides itself on its inclusive and caring culture, providing exceptional support for students who require additional learning adjustments, as well as opportunities for those who demonstrate high potential or giftedness. It hosts three Support Classes for students with additional learning needs and two Opportunity Classes for academically gifted students. The school’s enrolment represents 38 language groups, with English being the primary language spoken. A core initiative of the school is to celebrate the diversity of its community, which is reflected in its 2021-2024 Strategic Improvement Plan.
The Mona Vale community values the school's heritage and its reputation for excellence in both learning and extra-curricular programs. Students at Mona Vale Public School are encouraged to explore various interests, including music, dance, chess, public speaking, debating, and sports. The school employs specialist teachers in music and PDHPE (Physical Development, Health and Physical Education).
Recent capital works completed in 2023 have resulted in 23 new or refurbished learning spaces, including a Performing Arts Centre, library, canteen, and play areas, providing students with a modern environment designed to facilitate active and autonomous learning. The school fosters a strong relationship with its Parents and Citizens Association, who play an active role in supporting school activities and contributing to the decision-making process.
