Principal's message

Welcome to Scarborough Public School

Scarborough Public School is a small, inclusive school on the land of the Five Islands Dreaming, nestled between the sea and the escarpment in northern Wollongong. Our natural surroundings inspire learning, wellbeing and a strong sense of belonging.

We are proud to be a high-performing NSW public school, guided by the Department of Education’s Plan for Public Education. With three multi-grade classes, our students benefit from the close attention of a skilled and dedicated teaching team, supported by learning support staff and an Assistant Principal Curriculum & Instruction who drives ongoing improvement to lift outcomes.

At Scarborough, students are at the heart of every decision. Strong relationships and a culture of trust allow every child to thrive. Teaching is purposeful, inclusive and grounded in explicit instruction, differentiation and a strengths-based approach that celebrates each learner.

Grow Your Mind School

Scarborough Public School is proud to be a Grow Your Mind School, embedding evidence-informed wellbeing practices across everyday teaching and learning.

Grow Your Mind supports students to understand their emotions, build self-regulation, develop positive mindsets and strengthen their mental fitness. Using a shared, child-friendly language and practical strategies, students learn how their brain works, how to manage big feelings, and how to care for their wellbeing over time.

Through classroom lessons, whole-school character strengths, and consistent language across playgrounds and learning spaces, our students:

develop confidence and emotional awareness
learn strategies for calming, focusing and resilience
build empathy, kindness and positive relationships
strengthen their ability to learn, connect and thrive

Grow Your Mind is embedded thoughtfully and inclusively at Scarborough, supporting both learning and wellbeing — for our students and our community.
