Established in 1862, Nowra Public School currently has an enrolment of 598 students. It is centrally located in Nowra on two separate sites: K-2 and 3-6. The school community is diverse, drawing from a wide socio-economic population. Aboriginal students make up 28% of the student population. There is a strong focus on ensuring that Aboriginal culture and history are taught throughout the school. The school receives considerable funding under the Resource Allocation Model (RAM).
The focus for the school is literacy, numeracy, Aboriginal education, quality teaching, student engagement and future focused learning. The school is currently implementing the Berry Street Education Model (BSEM). We have established a 1:1 iPad model across the school.
The school will have 4 special education classes in 2020 - 3 autism classes and 1 MC class. Teachers work collaboratively within the special education unit to meet the wide range of learning needs of students with many of them achieving stage appropriate outcomes.
