Culburra Public School mission statement

Culburra Public School learning community provides and promotes:

  • the opportunity for all students to become valued and responsible learners, who care for and respect themselves and others
  • a safe and enriching learning environment, that recognises the rights and responsibilities of students and staff
  • a positive school community which encourages all students to reach full potential.

The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) is responsible for the curriculum, Kindergarten to Year 12, for all NSW schools.

For the primary years, NESA develops syllabuses for all subjects in 6 key learning areas:

  • creative arts
  • English
  • human society and its environment (HSIE)
  • mathematics
  • personal development, health and physical education (PDHPE)
  • science and technology.

Some primary schools may also offer languages.

NSW schools also offer special religious education and special education in ethics via approved providers, where available.

Like all NSW schools, we have developed teaching and learning programs to suit our local context and the needs of our students.
