## About

Swansea Public School is located on the shores of the beautiful Lake Macquarie, providing students access to lovely waterways including beaches and the lake. The school plays a key role in the community, which is undergoing change with new residences. It benefits from strong support through a committed Parents and Citizens Association, which actively engages in school programs and fostering community spirit. 

## Educational Programs

Swansea Public School is dedicated to innovation and cultural respect, promoting programs that acknowledge Aboriginal culture. As part of the Galgabba Community of Schools, it collaborates regularly with local schools, sharing teacher professional development and events. A strong focus on early years education is evident with initiatives such as Reading Recovery, the Kindergarten Literacy program, and targeted support addressing foundational learning skills. The school utilises the L3 program to ensure students become competent readers and writers.

Swansea Public School prioritises the cultivation of citizenship, teamwork, equality, and social justice through various programs. The Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) initiative is a cornerstone of its approach, focusing on behaviour management, emotional resilience, and conflict resolution. The philosophy of 'educating the whole child' is central to its mission, combining rigorous literacy and numeracy improvement with enriching activities across sport, arts, and technology.
