We are proud of our school and what it has to offer, both in academic and sporting excellence. We provide an environment which is safe and respectful, where students can achieve their full potential.
Gloucester Public School (GPS) provides excellence, opportunity and success in an innovative and caring environment. Our school has had a fluctuating population over the last 5 years and currently has 303 students (16% Aboriginal). This is small enough to ensure every child experiences success, while benefiting from being part of the largest educational system in the southern hemisphere. With our culture of effective performance and development, we nurture and support quality teaching and school leadership, focus on improving student outcomes, ensure consistent evaluation and feedback and strive for continuous improvement.
GPS is situated in a rural farming and mining community at the foot of the Bucketts Mountain range. Our community is family orientated, supportive and conservative. We value community involvement and partnerships and are part of the Bucketts Way Community of Schools (BWCoS). GPS consists of all permanent buildings, all single storey, has easy access, wet weather access, an assembly hall, interactive whiteboards and air conditioning in all learning spaces. Our dedicated healthy canteen is open 3 days a week and operated by our devoted and supportive Parents and Citizens Association (P&C). Our school has high expectations, an active student body and dynamic and experienced staff. We value diverse learning opportunities, offering music to all students, numeracy and literacy intervention programs, an award winning choir, multiple sporting opportunities, a dedicated computer lab, gardening club, external competitions and extracurricular activities, the Windstar's band, a Schools Spectacular team, an active learning and support team and a full time learning and support teacher. We are fortunate to have actively engaged Aboriginal parents and carers, and staff who identify as Aboriginal. We seek guidance from our Aboriginal community, ensuring strong connections.
