Cringila Public School is committed to providing high quality, evidence informed educational opportunities for our students. Learning is made visible to all students and we aim to develop resilient, persistent, problem-solving critical thinkers, who are self-regulated learners. Fostering the skills that will serve students well as they progress through school and beyond is of high importance to the whole school community. The explicit teaching of literacy and numeracy is a priority. We have a growth mindset with high expectations for all learners, resulting in a culture of achievement. Our dedicated staff work collaboratively ensuring students are engaged in innovative and differentiated learning. We take a refelctive and inquisitive approach to ongoing improvement utilising various forms of action research. Collaboration is embedded in our daily practice and we work closely in stage and whole school tams to deliver for our students and families.
Our students thrive in our positive, encouraging and supportive school environment and are ackowledged for following the school expectations of being safe, responsible and respectful. These expectations underpin our wellbeing and behaviour strategies and there is a consistent focus on rewarding positive student behaviour. We are a community of learners, working diligently to teach the importance of learning dispositions, to enable students to succeed and thrive as life-long learners. Our well-established partnerships with the Cringila Community Co-op, Wollongong City Council and the Smith Family provide further educational opportunities for our students. We look forward to developing a strong partnership with the Coomaditchie United Aboriginal Corporation and Juborsay- the Aboriginal Education Consultative Group (AECG). Our STEM and Living Classroom programs as well as extra-curricular opportunities enable students to engage in a range of learning experiences. We are widely acknowledged for our living classroom and continue to work closely with the Warrawong Community of Schools (CoS) to implement this initiative.
