The small town of Collector is located close to the Federal Highway between the centres of Goulburn and Canberra. Though largely a rural community a number of residents commute daily to the neighbouring centres. Collector Public School is a small school which embraces positive working relationships, with students, parents and teachers all working together to encourage each child to strive to achieve his/her potential in a caring and supportive environment. The school is well resourced, has a well equipped library and has internet access in all classrooms, library and office. The School Motto 'Achievement and Pride in all that we do through Participation, Co-operation, Responsibility and Caring' is a reflection of the positive attitude to learning.
