Established in 1933, Hammondville Public School continues our proud history of public education as part of the New South Wales Department of Education, designing learning to meet the needs of our 468 students. Set on large, leafy grounds 36.4km south-west of Sydney and 4.7 km from Liverpool, we offer a wide and varied curriculum and engage our community as partners in our learning.
Approximately 12% of our students come from Defence Force families due to the school's close proximity to the Holsworthy Army Base. The school employs a Defence School Mentor (DSM) who provides social and emotional support to these students and families.
The student population is inclusive of 22% of students who have a language background other than English and a growing Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population of 22.
Teaching and learning practices at the school are reflective of the needs of our students and are continually evaluated for impact by our expert teaching team, who are discerning users of research and employ evidence informed practice. As a result, all students across our school are engaged in quality, dynamic teaching and learning programs that challenge and support their needs as learners and as children.

The Assistant Principal, Curriculum and Instruction provides high support and guidance to enhance teacher growth and development in literacy and numeracy and strengthens schoolwide instructional capabilities across the curriculum for middle and senior leaders.
