The Avoca Beach Public School difference
A strong start
Our school welcomes all students from all backgrounds. We help every child feel safe, included and ready to learn from their very first day.
Growth in the classroom and beyond
We offer our students a wide range of subjects and opportunities. This empowers them to learn, develop skills, and discover their passions.
Support for every family
Our teachers and learning and wellbeing support teams work with our families. We co-design plans that help students learn in the way that works best for them.
Principal's message
Nestled on stunning Darkinjung land in the heart of the beautiful seaside village of Avoca Beach, our school is a place where learning thrives and community connections run deep.
At Avoca Beach Public School, we’re more than a centre of academic excellence, we’re a vibrant learning community where every student is known, valued and cared for. Our students are encouraged to explore their creativity, connect with their environment, and develop a lifelong love of learning.
We’re proud of our strong partnerships with families and the local community, which make our school such a special place to learn and grow.
Through a range of innovative extra-curricular programs — from music, dance, sport, chess, and debating to High Potential and Gifted Education — we aim to inspire confident, capable, and compassionate learners, ready to embrace the future with curiosity and courage.
I invite you to explore our website to discover what makes our school special. We look forward to welcoming you into our community.
Ben Thomas, Principal of Avoca Beach Public School
