Welcome to North Rocks Public School, a school celebrated for its commitment to excellence and for nurturing students into active, high-achieving, and well-rounded young citizens.
I warmly welcome all families joining our community this year. It is an honour to lead this outstanding school. Each day, I am proud to collaborate with our dedicated staff, engaged students, and supportive families to ensure North Rocks Public School continues to be a place where everyone can thrive.

We are dedicated to providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment grounded in positive relationships. Our focus is on developing the whole student—emotionally, socially, and academically. We recognise and celebrate each student’s unique talents, interests, and needs, delivering a dynamic and flexible curriculum tailored to encourage their best outcomes.
