Canley Vale Public School is a large and dynamic school located in the heart of South Western Sydney catering to the needs of 890 students P–6 and their families. The school serves a culturally diverse community with 97% of students identified as EAL/D; Chinese, Vietnamese and Khmer are the most highly represented cultures. The school provides a wide range of academic and extra–curricular programs aimed at developing the ‘whole child’. The school is a hub for the local community and often serves as a meeting place for parents. It also provides a venue for weekend/after hours Community Language classes and an Out Of School Hours care facility. Community Liaison Officers assist the school to maintain positive and open channels of communication between staff, students, parents and community members. Professional learning for all staff is a major focus and much of this is accomplished via the delivery of regular team–based sessions, whereby grade teams work with Instructional Leaders and Deputy Principals.
