Teacher Preschool - Nowra East Public School

Nowra East Public School is a Connected Communities school located on the South Coast of New South Wales. We work in partnership with our community to provide excellent teaching and learning opportunities within a nurturing and inclusive environment. We ensure that our 478 students, including 53% Aboriginal students, continually improve in cultural identity, wellbeing, literacy and numeracy outcomes. We have seventeen regular classes, six support classes and a NSW Department of Education preschool, which achieved an 'exceeding' rating by ACECQA in 2019. The school works closely with our three Aboriginal Educational Officers, Aboriginal community and the Nowra Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group to support cultural understanding and connection to Country.

At Nowra East Public School we are dedicated to providing excellence in education for all with a focus on literacy, numeracy and student engagement through discovery-based and interest-driven learning opportunities. All staff engage in ongoing professional learning using current evidence-based pedagogy. Students, families and staff collaboratively develop personal learning pathways for all students, providing adjustments for students with additional needs. Our Mia Mia Wellbeing Hub strengthens community partnerships and provides a service delivery reform model that promotes a multi-disciplinary approach to meeting family health and wellbeing needs. Our commitment to quality education and authentic care ensures all students and their families feel welcome and thrive within our positive environment.
