Curlewis Public School, located 20 km south of Gunnedah, caters to the students within the village of Curlewis and surrounding areas. The school enrolment for 2010 grew from 43 students at the beginning of the year to 51, with 25% of these students identifying as Aboriginal. Curlewis Public School provides students with quality educational programs delivered by highly qualified, dedicated teachers. With a strong academic focus, your child will enjoy unique opportunities that challenge and extend their learning. Literacy has been a focus in the school, with all teaching staff trained in and implementing the nationally accredited Accelerated Literacy program from Kindergarten to Year 6, where students learn by studying high quality picture books, short stories and novels and use the techniques of the authors to improve their own writing and understanding of the written word. Our primary students participate in an instrumental music program, with all primary students playing a brass or percussion instrument. Opportunities exist for all of our students to participate in and extend skills in a variety of individual and team sports.
