Position Information
St Clair Public School, located in Sydney’s western suburbs and part of the Eastern Creek Network, educates 346 students across 12 mainstream classes—including a Selective Education Opportunity class—and 5 multi-categorical support classes. With 42% of students from language backgrounds other than English and 9% identifying as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, the school emphasises inclusive and equitable education.
The school focuses on enhancing student outcomes through explicit, research-informed teaching, professional learning, and data analysis. Its approach to High Potential and Gifted Education (HPGE) and inclusion ensures diverse learning needs are met. Various quality programs are offered, such as the Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden, public speaking, dance, sport, choir (including a signing choir), and technology integration with iPads, laptops, coding, and robotics.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are actively embedded in the curriculum and school life, supported by initiatives like the Koori Kids program that builds cultural connection, confidence, and leadership. The school also celebrates multiculturalism through events and language programs fostering cultural understanding.
Whole-school wellbeing practices promote positive behaviour and learning, with strong family engagement and community feedback guiding ongoing school improvement.
