Hornsby North Public School established in 1966 is a student focused school. Set in spacious grounds with bush corridors maintained by parents, staff and students, opportunities for environmental education through the integrated curriculum are many and varied. Strong foundations are established through excellent early learning programs and enrichment opportunities are available at all levels. Community support is strong and parents are true partners in the educational directions of the school. The construction of an outdoor classroom in 2000 was the result of cooperation between parents, staff and the founder of kayaking for kemo kids. The school's mission statement caring for children, educating for life was developed in consultation with teachers and parents. Our mission is to educate students as life long learners. This will be achieved by: providing a comprehensive educational curriculum with an emphasis on literacy, numeracy and technology; developing a caring school, with positive student welfare programs and a team of committed professional educators; ensuring parent community participation in the school; fostering pride in public education.
The Hornsby North community aims to:
- provide a rigorous academic program that addresses the needs of all students and ensures sequential development across all key learning areas;
