Our school was built on a one acre grant of land given by John Morrice of “Browley” in 1868 and officially named Moss Vale Public School in 1872. The school has since grown to just under 500 students with many third and fourth generation families and even a number of ex-students returning to work and teach here.
Moss Vale Public School is committed to providing high quality teaching and learning, a strong sense of community and a wide array of opportunities for our students to succeed and thrive. Students in all grade levels, from Kindergarten to Year 6, are afforded outstanding educational experiences to enrich their learning both within classrooms and in our unique outdoor play areas.
Inclusion is embedded in all aspects of school life, providing improved learning and wellbeing for all students, including those with a disability in a mainstream class, in one of our six smaller support classes or our pre-Kindergarten Early Intervention support class, Acorn Cottage, which provides a specialised, inclusive preschool program to support academic and social development.
Our dedicated team of teachers and support staff ensure each student is known, valued and cared for in nurturing and engaging classroom environments that improve student academic outcomes and social and emotional wellbeing. Our new school motto Excellence in Education, Inclusion and Community has been introduced this year after a process of consultation to ensure the school motto reflects the school’s vision and high expectations of all students. This motto guides the school’s commitment to providing students with a stimulating, exciting and challenging environment in which individual uniqueness and achievement are celebrated.
One of the most distinctive things about Moss Vale Public School is the generosity of our wonderful community. The school is incredibly grateful for the ongoing commitment by our Parents and Citizens (P&C) to support our students and work in partnership with the school to ensure our school provides the best quality educational outcomes for our students.
We look forward to working in partnership with you and watching your child grow and succeed in academic, social and emotional growth.
