The teachers and students at Martin's Gully Public School work together within a happy and supportive educational environment to ensure that everyone realises their full potential. Situated on the southern outskirts of Armidale, with a school population of approximately 170 students, we enjoy a reputation as a high achieving school where strong emphasis is placed on literacy and numeracy, and where children are encouraged to take part in a wide range of creative, academic, sporting and personal development activities. We are a member of the Armidale Community of Public Schools working together to provide the best possible education for all students through extension programs and activities in literacy, numeracy, science, creative arts and sport. Our primary-secondary transition programs promote important links with our neighbouring high school. We are well resourced and provide the students access to the latest technologies. Students have access to computers both in their classroom and via a computer lab. All classrooms have interactive whiteboards and innovative software contributing to quality teaching in every classroom. The school promotes its positive, family ethos through parent participation in their children's education and an active Parents and Citizens Association. The school supports and encourages student leadership, and promotes the values of care, concern and cooperation amongst the school community. Our attractive grounds, rural outlook and expansive playgrounds complement our excellent learning facilities.
