St Andrews Public School is situated in a suburb named St Andrews in South Western Sydney NSW Australia. There are currently 785 students K to 6 enrolled in our school, comprising of 34 classes, including an Opportunity Class (OC) and five support classes.
St Andrews Public School prides itself on being an educational setting which continually provides wonderful learning experiences for all children, including gifted and talented students and students requiring additional support for autism and moderate and mild intellectual disabilities. We are an inclusive school community that focuses on the need to be respectful, be responsible and be safe.
Our staff and community have high expectations and aspirations for their children and these are realised through the skill and dedication of our highly qualified teaching staff and are reflected in the quality learning outcomes achieved by our students.
Students at St Andrews Public School continue to achieve excellence in State and National testing in literacy and numeracy and also in the University of NSW competitions. The very full school curriculum provides programs that cater for a wide range of student abilities, from the gifted and talented, to those requiring support and remediation. The performing arts play a very important role in the education of our students with opportunities to participate in dance, drama, school instrumental groups and choirs. Sport also plays an important role, with students given the opportunity to participate in PSSA inter-school sport and a range of other sporting opportunities. St Andrews PS also provides many other experiences such as debating, chess club, drama club, Korean language and many more. Our students are environmentally aware and we are very proud of our vegetable gardens, water tanks, worm farms and compost bins. We have fitted solar panels to parts of the school to generate power and some school toilets are flushed with rainwater from our water tanks.
Our incredibly supportive school community values a high level of support from a very active parent body which works in partnership with staff to provide programs and resources of the highest quality for our students.
I welcome you to St Andrews Public School and with my entire staff look forward to a happy, supportive and productive relationship with you and your children throughout their St Andrews Public School journey.
