The Woy Woy Public School difference
A strong start
Our school welcomes all students from all backgrounds. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day.
Growth in the classroom and beyond
We offer our students a wide range of subjects and opportunities. This empowers them to learn, develop skills, and discover their passions.
Support for every family
Our teachers and learning and wellbeing support teams work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
Principal's message
Our school is located on the beautiful peninsula of the Southern Central Coast. We are proud to provide a supportive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment for students from Preschool to Year 6.
Our school community is diverse, with over 20% of students identifying as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. We value and celebrate Aboriginal culture, working closely with the Koorana AECG and the Mingaletta Aunties to ensure our students feel a strong sense of belonging and cultural connection.
Woy Woy Public School hosts seven support classes, providing tailored programs for students with additional learning needs and disabilities. We are committed to equity, inclusion, and acceptance, offering diverse learning opportunities to meet the academic, social, and wellbeing needs of every student.
We are also proud of our Guliyali Preschool, which has two classes and 40 students enrolled in a five-day fortnight program. The preschool lays a strong foundation for learning and helps children transition smoothly into formal schooling the following year.
Equity, inclusion, and acceptance are central to our culture. We offer diverse and differentiated learning opportunities across the school, with targeted programs for High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) students and strong support for students from English as an Additional Language or Dialect (EALD) backgrounds. Student voice is highly valued, with students actively contributing to decision-making, wellbeing initiatives, and school improvement through leadership roles and representative groups.
As a Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) school, we teach and model our values of Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Engaged. Our school motto, I Aspire, reflects our belief that every child can achieve their personal best. Our vision, Empowering all students to achieve, guides everything we do as we nurture confident, resilient, and successful learners.
Our leadership team, including five Assistant Principals, an Assistant Principal Curriculum and Instruction (APCI), and a Deputy Principal (DP I&S), works alongside our dedicated staff to ensure high-quality teaching, learning, and wellbeing programs for all students.
At Woy Woy Public School, we value strong partnerships with parents, carers, and the wider community. Together, we create a safe, respectful, and welcoming environment where students are inspired to learn, grow, and contribute positively to society.”
