## About

Broke Public School is a small, comprehensive co-educational primary school located in the picturesque Upper Hunter region of New South Wales. With an enrolment of approximately 60 students across three classes, the school prides itself on providing a nurturing and supportive learning environment. Smaller class sizes foster close relationships between students and educators, allowing for tailored learning experiences that enhance individual growth.

## Educational Opportunities
The school focuses on delivering high-quality educational programs, with an emphasis on literacy and numeracy. Equipped with modern technology, including interactive whiteboards and video-conferencing facilities, Broke Public School ensures students have access to diverse learning resources. Collaborative learning is encouraged through partnerships with families and community organisations, particularly the Singleton Learning Community and the Kunarr Ngarrama Aboriginal Education Consultative Group.

## Extracurricular Activities
Beyond the standard curriculum, the school offers various extracurricular activities to enrich the students' educational experience. Participation in sports, creative and performing arts, and debating is encouraged, with students achieving recognition in competitions such as the Premier's Debating Challenge. The school’s values of respect, responsibility, and acceptance of diversity foster an inclusive community where all students can thrive.

## Community Support
With magnificent views of the Hunter Valley and a strong connection to the surrounding rural community, Broke Public School benefits from active support from parents and local residents. An enthusiastic Parents and Citizens (P&C) group, along with a dedicated School Council, plays a vital role in bolstering the school's initiatives and programs.

## Mission

At Broke Public School, student learning and wellbeing are at the forefront of everything we do. We foster a strong, positive learning culture where collaboration, inclusivity, critical and creative thinking and innovation make learning exciting and where all learners can achieve their personal best.
