Why Choose Us?

Thank you for exploring what Mount Ousley Public School has to offer.

We proudly serve the Fairy Meadow, Mount Ousley, and surrounding communities, providing a high-quality, comprehensive education for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.

Our school places students at the centre of all decisions. We celebrate the rich and diverse heritages of our students and their families from around the world. With 34% of our students coming from a language background other than English, our school community is enriched by the many languages and cultures they bring.

High Expectations Culture

Students are empowered to voice their needs, actively engage in their learning, and collaborate as part of a team. They are taught to think critically and creatively to solve problems and challenge ideas. These skills are applied both in their learning and when exploring real-world issues.

The school values of Learning, Wellbeing, and Community drive the positive and welcoming culture shared by our staff, students, and families. Our students demonstrate empathy and genuine care for others and actively contribute to making our school and the wider community a better place. Our staff is a dedicated team of professionals who pride themselves on building strong relationships with students and their families. They are highly skilled practitioners who continually update their knowledge to remain at the forefront of research-informed practices that enhance learning and wellbeing for all students. Our teachers expertly differentiate learning to cater to a wide range of learners in their classrooms. They work collaboratively in teams to plan learning and assessments, resulting in strong academic achievement in literacy and numeracy. We are proud to share that our results exceed those of the state and statistically similar schools in all areas of literacy and numeracy.

The administration and support staff are highly skilled in assisting students and their families. I encourage you to contact our friendly office team to experience this support firsthand and to arrange a tour of our school. Join our school community today!
