Each school in NSW offers something slightly different depending on the community. Here's what we offer for you.
Canteen
All canteens in NSW public schools must meet certain requirements. These include providing more healthy food and drink options – to make the healthy choice an easy choice for students. Visit Healthy school canteens to learn more.
Uniforms
When students wear a school uniform, they feel included in our school community.
Students, teachers, parents and carers, as well as members of our local community helped develop our school uniform to make sure it:
- meets the requirements of occupational health and safety, anti-discrimination and equal opportunity legislation
- includes items that are affordable, comfortable and made from easy-care and easy-wear fabrics
- is appropriate for the full range of school activities
- is suitable for all body shapes.

"I can’t sing the praises of this great little school enough. It was recommended to me by a local parent, and we decided to do an out of area application - we felt the dedicated focus of the teachers in a small school was right for us. And how right we were. The teachers, parents & students are absolutely stellar in every regard - we felt so welcomed by the school and the Burrawang community at large. The grounds are that of a storybook, the local pub is a major plus for socialising on a Friday afternoon. The efforts of the P&C to support extra curricular activities paralleled that of the independent school we were considering. If you are after more than your average primary school, this is the place."
