Nashdale Public School

Nashdale Public School serves a thriving rural community located ten kilometres west of Orange, primarily catering to students from small farms, orchards, and vineyards in the Mount Canobolas district. The school has seen substantial growth over the past decade, accommodating many young families who have relocated to the area. The extensive park-like grounds offer ample open space for children to play with their peers.

The school's programs prioritise academic excellence within a positive, safe, and caring environment. Highly skilled and experienced staff deliver a differentiated curriculum tailored to meet diverse learning needs. Instruction focuses on explicit and systematic teaching along with continual feedback. Technology integration enhances learning, with students in Years 3 to 6 provided individual laptops after prior iPad usage in the earlier years.

Nashdale Public School boasts an excellent academic record, with NAPLAN results consistently surpassing the state average. The school supports high potential and gifted students through acceleration and access to Aurora College in Years 5 and 6. Students can apply for this Opportunity Class via the Selective Schools Unit in Year 4, allowing them to engage in remote curriculum for Maths and Science.

The close relationship with the local community is integral to the school's ethos, with parents and community members actively involved in school events. The nurturing atmosphere ensures that Nashdale students are 'RIPE' for learning, embracing the core values of Respect, Integrity, Pride, and Engagement. The school further provides supportive services like bus transportation and Out of School Hours care, enhancing family life in the community.

At Nashdale Public School we are "RIPE for Learning". Our community believes that through respect, integrity, pride and engagement our students are supported to constantly challenge themselves to be confident, caring and reflective learners.
