The teachers at Illawong Public School are committed to providing students with a contemporary education that is strongly aligned to evidence-informed practices. We have a focus on literacy and numeracy and developing students' skills in the 4Cs: communication, collaboration, critical thinking and creativity.
The school implements the Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Program and actively incorporates the values of respect, responsibility and learning into all aspects of school life. We provide a caring and consistent learning environment and hold high expectations for every student. At Illawong Public School, we work collaboratively with parents and carers to ensure that our students are at the centre of all our decision making.
Students have access to a wide range of extracurricular activities in the areas of creative arts, sport, enrichment, student leadership and environmental education. We have an on-site out of school hours care facility and a vacation care program.
Illawong Public School has an involved Parents and Citizens Association (P&C) which actively supports the school. The P&C operates an on-site school uniform shop run by volunteers.
