Parramatta North Public School places a strong emphasis on literacy and numeracy by providing excellent teaching and learning programs which reflect the NSW Quality Teaching Framework. These programs are delivered by dynamic and professional teachers who are committed to ensuring each of our students achieves their potential. Our focus is on developing the individual. We provide a stimulating, supportive learning environment and a curriculum which is comprehensive, innovative and differentiated to meet the needs of all students. Our banner statement, 'Quality Teaching in a Caring Environment' encapsulates our school's ethos. The core values of the school are respect, cooperation, participation and fairness. Positive Behaviour for Learning is a highly successful approach we have utilised over the past three years. All school members have contributed towards the establishment of the following three expectations or rules - Be Respectful, Be Safe, Be Learners. Parramatta North Public School embraces its multicultural nature. Eighty five per cent of the children attending our school are from a language background other than English (LBOTE) with many choosing Parramatta North as their first Australian school. We have 40 different cultural groups embracing and celebrating the diversity of the school. The progress children make throughout their time in this school is outstanding as evidenced by the results they achieve. Access to technology is a priority. Each classroom has an interactive whiteboard. All rooms are networked with computer technology integrated into all aspects of classroom learning. A computer lab adjoining the library is an integral component of teaching and learning. Parramatta North Public School has a record of high academic, creative and sporting achievements. Students are provided with opportunities to excel in sport and the creative arts. Dance, choir, drama, choral speaking and visual arts are areas of excellence.
