Thurgoona Public School provides a caring atmosphere where children, parents and the community share in the learning process.
Children derive enjoyment through participation and involvement in a variety of activities, which allow standards of excellence to be attained, according to the stages of individual development.
Our highly experienced and enthusiastic teaching and support staff promote and develop-
- Foundations for life-long learning
- Leadership skills and social responsibility
- Successful sporting teams with a focus on a healthy lifestyle
- Valued partnerships with parents and the wider community
We encourage the children in our care to adopt the school's motto - Learn to live and Live to learn.
