Position Information

Brooklyn Public School was established in 1929 and is situated in a unique bushland setting on the banks of the Hawkesbury River. Students come from the local communities of Brooklyn, Dangar Island, Mooney Mooney, Bar Point and other boat access only points on the river. These unique locations mean that many of the students travel to school by boat, ferry and bus. The school is a member of the Hornsby AECG and has an enrolment of 86 students from a range of socio-economic backgrounds, 8% of students identify as having an Aboriginal background and 19% of students have English as an Additional Language. Reading and numeracy is supported by evidence based practice and informed by research and explicit teaching, and student voice and high potential gifted education are a school focus.

The school promotes a safe, inclusive and supportive learning setting in which children can develop a sense of belonging and well-being. The school has many unique whole school programs including a school garden program, water awareness swimming program, extensive music tuition program and a dynamic school band and choir.

The school has a supportive parent community who are encouraged to participate in school activities and decision-making processes. The Hawkesbury River Child Care Centre has been located on the school grounds for over 25 years and offers a before and after school care program in addition to vacation care.
