The Figtree Public School difference

A strong start

Our school welcomes all students from all backgrounds. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day. At Figtree Public School, we have a central focus on connecting with our students as learners and as people. We ensure they are at the centre of all decision-making and that every student is known, valued and cared for.

Growth in the classroom and beyond

We are responsive to individual learning needs, and maintain an integrated focus on literacy and numeracy, using data and evidence to target and track goals to plan for next steps in learning. Students are supported to improve and succeed through effective and specific feedback in a friendly, caring, safe and educationally stimulating environment. Our high quality teachers lead and share in the responsibility for student and school improvement. They work collaboratively as life-long learners to continuously grow, innovate, create and inspire, offering quality classroom and extra-curricula learning opportunities. We strive for excellence by ensuring every student, every staff member and our school improves every year.

Support for every family

Our school is a focal point of the community and has a distinctive family climate exemplified by positive relationships between all members of the school community. This is epitomised by the school ethos of "Caring, Sharing, Learning Together". In welcoming your family to our school community, we believe the education of your child to be a partnership. We work in purposeful partnership, as a learning community with high expectations, so that every student is valued and challenged to reach their potential.
