The Junction Public School difference
The Junction Public School has a multicultural community and strong academic performance exceeding state and national standards, particularly in literacy and numeracy. After a recent review, the school continues to focus on academic growth for Years 3 and 5 and the effective implementation of new syllabus documents with an emphasis on differentiation and staff collaboration.
The school’s attractive campus combines historic and modern facilities near cultural institutions like the Newcastle Regional Art Gallery and Conservatorium of Music, offering unique enrichment opportunities such as a band program for Years 3-6. The dedicated staff includes leadership roles and specialists who lead diverse learning projects, fostering a rich curriculum that covers outdoor education, environmental initiatives, STEM, and the arts.
A strong creative and performing arts program, alongside various sporting and cultural activities, supports student engagement. The school’s values framework, based on restorative practices, promotes well-being and critical and creative thinking skills, preparing students for future challenges. Support from the Department of Education, University of Newcastle, and the Muloobinbah Local Aboriginal Education Consultative Group enhances teaching quality and Aboriginal education.
The active Parents and Citizens association contributes significantly to school projects that improve student well-being and learning, reflecting a committed and supportive community.
