Wakehurst Public School
About the Business
Welcome to Wakehurst Public School, a vibrant and forward-thinking establishment nestled in the beautiful bushland of Belrose, Glen Street. As a primary school catering to students from Kindergarten to Year 6, our mission is to equip our students with the tools they need to become successful, confident, and creative individuals.
At Wakehurst Public School, we pride ourselves on our spacious and well-maintained campus, complete with excellent level playgrounds and state-of-the-art facilities. We believe in providing our students with a stimulating learning environment that encourages them to thrive and reach their full potential.
One of our key focuses is on student welfare, and we have implemented innovative initiatives to ensure the well-being of our students. Our flexible and innovative classroom spaces further enhance the quality of teaching and learning programs, allowing us to maintain high expectations and inspire our students to excel in a complex and dynamic global society.
As part of our commitment to providing a well-rounded education, we offer a range of extracurricular activities. During Term 3, our students had the opportunity to work with Dance Fever to create captivating dance performances based on Disney movies. We also have a PDHPE program that includes dance lessons for all students, culminating in a performance on Thursday 14 September. On Thursdays this term, all students will be required to wear their Sports uniform.
We understand the importance of parental involvement in a child's education, and we welcome parents and caregivers to join us in engaging and educational activities. If you and your kids are airport enthusiasts, we have something special in store for you!
Education Week is an annual celebration of NSW public education, where we recognize and applaud the achievements of our schools, teachers, and students. We also value the input of parents and carers, and the Department of Education has shared a draft plan for NSW public education, inviting valuable feedback.
We believe that regular attendance is crucial for a child's academic success, and we urge parents to prioritize their child's attendance. A day away from school may not seem significant, but absences can accumulate and impact a child's progress.
Before we conclude, we would like to take a moment to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which Wakehurst Public School stands, the Kuring-gai of the Eora Nation. We pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present.

Thank you for visiting our webpage, and we look forward to welcoming you to Wakehurst Public School, where we strive to create a nurturing and inspiring educational environment for all our students.

Reviews
"don't go to the music room it's like hell but everything else it very good"
"Ok this is the third time i have had to post a comment about this school because they keep deleting it so that they may appear as a better leaerning environment when infact sending your child to this school is a similar experience to living in a concentration camp. No teacher at this school actually cares about the education of your child. Mrs Mackie is possibly the reinvcarnation of the devil and she will make your childs mental health worse. I urge you to please not send your child to this school."
"Both my boys are now study at Wakehurst Public School. No dramas. They are in good hands and very happy with their classroom teachers. Teachers and school staffs are very supportive and always willing to help out whenever needed."
"mrs durose is the worst teacher i've ever had"
"Do not let your children have the unpleasant experience of being disciplined by the teacher known as Mrs Durose I say this because during my time at Wakehurst I was consistently punished by her which is possibly the reason I have a sense of anguish whenever I walk past that school. When my parents enlisted me into the school I was not greeted with smiles but instead, I was greeted with constant gazes of disgust which I assume was because I'm half Chinese, due to this factor I was occasionally harassed by other students who after knowing I was half Chinese would use both of their index fingers to stretch the sides of their eyelids to make themselves look like they had "Asian eyes", at the time I did not know what they were doing as I was only four or five. Mrs Durose rarely punished other children asides from me and about three or four other students, despite the many complaints to the school at the time about Mrs Durose the school did not take any action that I know of apart from moving her to a different classroom to teach older children. Aside from most of the teachers being in their late fifties to their mid-sixties most of the teachers were easily angered and not very understanding of the student's feelings or emotions. My most common punishment was being sat away from other students and being placed in the corner where I would be forced to do work of which I was never taught to do as I had only just been enlisted and had no prior form of education beforehand. In total, I strongly recommend you enlist your children into another school such as Mimosa public school or Belrose public school."
