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.
