About the school

Bletchington Public School was established on the Northern edge of Orange in 1957, and has seen significant growth due to recent residential development. Currently, the school is undergoing rapid changes supported by strong leadership and strategic planning. Major building upgrades are in progress, including the addition of a new library, administration block, hall, multiple classrooms, and updated facilities such as security fencing, a canteen, toilets, and playground improvements.

As a literacy/numeracy partnership school, Bletchington focuses on improving literacy through the 'Reading To Learn' program. Technology and student welfare are also priorities, with the school implementing a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) program. The leadership is reviewing school policies and management to accommodate the increase in student enrolments.

The school boasts considerable programs in performing arts and representative sports, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. The staff comprises experienced educators alongside a growing number of younger teachers, enriching the learning environment. Community involvement is central to the school's ethos, with a commitment to fostering relationships that support both students and their families.

Bletchington Public School emphasizes the importance of student voice, allowing learners to participate in decision-making processes that shape their educational experiences. This inclusive approach reflects the school's dedication to nurturing every student's individual needs and fostering a supportive school community.
