Description

Position Information:

Cobbitty Public School is located in a growing semi-rural setting south west of Sydney. The school currently has an enrolment of 343 students including 21% students from a non-English speaking background. The school values Aboriginal culture and history with a Junior AECG in operation and strong links within the community.

Whilst the cohort is small, NAPLAN results demonstrate that Aboriginal students are performing at or above when compared to their peers.

A steady increase in enrolment numbers is occurring each year from the new housing developments in the area.

The school has a highly involved, supportive community, including an active P&C, who value staff dedication and strive to ensure their children are receiving every possible opportunity for individual success.

Our staff includes a combination of both early career and experienced teachers.

All teachers work together, within a strong culture of collaboration, to form a dedicated team of educators who are committed to excellence and who care deeply about the needs of each child.

A focus on continued learning of all teachers and leaders, including the continuous development of the capabilities of all teachers is maintained to maximise student growth and attainment.

Analysis has also identified wellbeing as an area for continued focus to support learning, particularly the areas of attendance and social and emotional wellbeing.

The school attendance rate is above state average and continues to be a focus in line with the NSW Plan for Public Education.

A strong commitment to explicit teaching, high potential and gifted education and equity remain key to Cobbitty Public Schools ongoing success.
