Ourimbah Public School provides educationally challenging opportunities that give every student the best possible preparation to achieve their potential.
Our school's bushland and rainforest setting provides a unique learning environment in which our students learn and grow academically, personally and socially. We believe in excellence, opportunity and success and this guides everything we do. Our motto is 'Endeavour to Excel' and we support students by providing a range of experiences to allow them to achieve their personal best.
We acknowledge and celebrate achievement whilst maintaining high expectations of effort and behaviour. The nine core values:
- care
- cooperation
- democracy
- excellence
- fairness
- integrity
- participation
- respect
- responsibility
form the framework of school activities and guide our positive behaviour strategies including our 'Magpie Award' program. Our experienced teachers monitor the progress of students and address specific learning needs.
We provide engaging activities including:
- visual arts
- public speaking
- information technology
- sporting groups and teams
- competitions.
Our school band, "The Bluegum Flats" and our two choirs offer great music opportunities. We work together with our Valley Schools' Learning Community to provide quality educational experiences for our students.
