Collaroy Plateau Public School is situated at the heart of the Northern Beaches, located high on the plateau in an open, inviting and natural bush setting. Established in 1954, we value and enjoy strong community involvement and partnerships between students, teachers and parents. 'Striving for Excellence' is the school ethos, which translates into providing quality education and a diverse range of opportunities for students. Our core values are to help students develop high standards of academic excellence commensurate with each student's abilities and aptitudes, positive participation in all Key Learning Areas, a love of learning and a greater independence in their learning. Within a safe and caring environment we promote a developing sense of responsibility and respect for the rights of others and the environment. In addition to exemplary classroom practice, our school also provides opportunities for academic enrichment, student leadership, dance, band, public speaking, debating, specialised sport, cultural enrichment, learning support and a focus on student welfare. This school provides a curriculum which is relevant and caters for the future needs of our students through our comprehensive technology enabled teaching and learning programs. Collaroy Plateau Public School continually reflects on its practices and values, ensuring all students are supported and inspired to succeed.
