Girraween Public School

Girraween Public School serves the Girraween community, offering a high-quality and comprehensive education for students from Kindergarten to Year 6. With an enrolment of 1,250 students, the school boasts a diverse community, with 94% of its students coming from a language background other than English, including Tamil, Hindi, Asian, and European cultural groups. The school supports linguistic diversity by teaching Tamil and Hindi as community languages.

Vision and Educational Approach

The school aims to develop 21st-century learners through innovative, culturally sensitive teaching practices, focusing on project-based learning. High academic performance remains a priority, with an emphasis on empowering students to apply their skills and knowledge to problem-solving. To facilitate this, the school is committed to ongoing professional development for its staff and actively involves parents through its Parents and Citizens Association, which raises funds to enrich the learning environment.

Student Support and Programs

Girraween Public School offers a proactive welfare program and operates three support classes designed for students with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities. The school also promotes a wide array of extracurricular activities, including sports, music, computer coding, and dance, ensuring a well-rounded experience that caters to various student interests and talents.

As part of the NSW Government's commitment to public education, Girraween Public School is undergoing significant upgrades, including the construction of a new three-storey building with 38 permanent classrooms. This enhancement aims to meet the growing demand for modern learning spaces while supporting the school's vision for inclusive, high-quality education.

Girraween Public School welcomes all students from all backgrounds. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day. Our teachers and learning and wellbeing support teams work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
