Principal's message

On behalf of our school community, I am pleased to welcome you to our ‘school by the sea'.

Melissa Day

Culburra Public School

We look forward to a long and happy association with you and your child.  Culburra Public School's motto is ‘Live and Learn' and our core values are Safety, Respect and Responsibility.  Established in 1976, Culburra Public School has been serving the community of Culburra Beach for over forty years, built on a foundation of inclusivity and value of all cultures especially our First Australians.

Culburra is a community school, and implements a number of very special programs such as reading with our local senior citizens, strong sporting, performing arts and Indigenous cultural activities.

The mission of our school is the delivery of high, quality education and teaching outcomes that are responsive to the needs of all students and enhance the aspirations and expectations of the total school community.

The school's vision is to support successful learners, confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens with an emphasis on:

  • Essential literacy and numeracy skills;
  • Creative, resourceful, innovative problem-solvers;
  • Working collaboratively in teams to communicate ideas;
  • Good self-esteem;
  • Developing honesty, resilience, empathy and respect;
  • Responsible global citizenship;
  • Contributing to reconciliation and valuing Indigenous culture; and
  • Acting with moral integrity.

I look forward to working with you and your family to ensure the very best educational outcomes for your child/children.
