The school has a dedicated computer laboratory, Aboriginal resource centre, multifunctional community hall and an onsite preschool.

Our students are supported with a curriculum differentiated for their needs and are provided with learning opportunities which are both engaging and creative. Our school culture is strengthened through Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL), reinforcing core values of respect, responsibility and learning; it promotes innovation and individual success and celebrates achievement. Strong local connections and involvement in a variety of networks including the Innovation, Inspiration and Learning Alliance (IILA) additionally support improved student learning outcomes.

There is an emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy skills and these are integrated across Key Learning Areas. Additional opportunities include dance, drama, choral choir, signing choir, debating, public speaking, creative arts, drumming, environmental groups and sporting opportunities. 

A highly valued partnership exists between the school and its community. Parents participate in a wide variety of school activities including class activities, school sport and canteen along with genuine decision making opportunities by being involved with the Parents & Citizens' Association (P&C).

We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our school community.

Edgeworth Public School Song

 C. Leane and M. Scully

 

Wide open spaces, lined with gum trees full and free.

Playgrounds filled with laughter, together you and me.

We're leaders of the future, working hand in hand,

Together, making a difference for our nation and our land.

With respect and fairness, and responsibility.

 

 

Desire to do well, the motto we declare.

Proud to fly our flag,

We are Edgeworth Public School.

 

 

With colours dancing red and black, beneath the golden sun,

The stars are where our goals are and we'll reach them one by one.

Learning beyond our potential, achieving quality,

Partners in our strengths, supporting community.

With care, integrity and cooperation.
