Marsden Park Public School is located in Western Sydney and is a community minded school dating from 1889, catering for students from Kindergarten to Year Six. Enrolments are increasing due to being surrounded by rapid urban and industrial development, including three major residential areas. Marsden Park Public School is a part of The Ponds Network of schools.
Enrolments of the school are currently 241 across eleven classes, including one multi-stage class. The students' cultural background includes approximately 2% of students from an Indigenous background and 74% of students from an EALD background.
The school promotes the best possible learning environment by encouraging positive partnerships within the whole school community through: fostering in the classroom and the playground, high expectations of achievement and behaviour; developing student self-esteem through recognising and rewarding pupil, stage and school success; encouraging students to develop confidence, self-discipline and respect for all; encouraging staff and community to participate in the decision making process; implementing programs which provide the opportunity for students to participate and succeed in a variety of learning experiences tailored to the needs of students.
