Demonstration School

What is a Demonstration School?

We are one of four officially recognised public demonstration schools in NSW. As a demonstration school, we have a strong connection with the University of Newcastle which is supported by our memorandum of understanding with them. This means that we work with the Education faculty and preservice teachers to deliver innovative teaching and learning programs and to build the teaching profession. We have been twice inducted into the UoN Work Integrated Learning Hall of Fame, at the Employability Excellence Awards.

A welcoming community

Our school is a place where students from all backgrounds feel safe, respected and part of the community. We value diversity and fairness. Your child will learn and grow in a school that celebrates who they are. We prepare students to be confident, well-rounded global citizens.

We create a welcoming community by:
  • supporting students learning English as an additional language or dialect (EAL/D)
  • celebrating Harmony Day
  • incorporating culturally inclusive school events
  • ensuring cultural safety for all students.
