West Ryde Public School is proud to be part of the NSW Department of Education, located in the North-Western suburbs of Sydney. We are a large multicultural school with over 85% of our 577 students coming from a language background other than English. We pride ourselves on our 'Learning Culture'; our focus is on learning, the building of educational aspiration, and ongoing performance improvement throughout the school community. Our school is driven by our collective mission to nurture the minds of our students and to nurture the person. This concept also applies to our staff and community, keeping our students at the centre of our school plan. We strive to grow our school forward using evidence and data by focusing on improving student academic performance and having consistent performance measures to demonstrate student growth in reading and numeracy. We strive to strengthen our strategic and planned approach to wellbeing, ensuring all students connect, succeed, thrive and learn.
Our school culture and belief is underpinned by our guiding principles of 'nothing left unattempted', and being Safe, Respectful Learners, both of which form the backbone of our 'Positive Behaviour for Learning' strategy which guides the expectations for all our students.
