Spring Farm Public School is a new and contemporary school in the middle of a rapidly growing housing estate near Camden, in Sydney’s south-west. The traditional custodians of the land are the Dharawal people.
The school’s population currently comprises of 500 students from an increasingly diverse cultural, religious and socio-economic backgrounds. There is a 27% LBOTE (Language Background other than English) population, with students coming from Arabic, Portuguese, Swahili, Urdu, Maltese, Russian and Khmer background. The school currently has 19 ATSI (Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander) students. As the suburb of Spring Farm continues to grow, our student population will also reflect this growth. From January 2016 and our starting enrolment of 60 students, it is evident the expected continued and rapid growth of the school.
The school was open from January 2016 on a temporary site at Narellan Annexe. Staff and students remained at the annexe for the duration of Term One.
The school was completed in early April 2016. It has the capacity to enrol 500 students, including four support classes. Spring Farm Public School is built to support and enhance quality and engaging teaching and learning, where innovation and a collaborative learning culture is embraced.
At Spring Farm Public School we aim to: provide quality and engaging education for all students; provide students with the academic and social skills to contribute to and create positive futures for themselves and the broader community; and encourage students to become caring global citizens and lifelong learners.
The students, staff and community are currently working collaboratively to make the school the hub of the community with local residents able to share the facilities.
