## About

Scotts Head Public School is located in a small coastal village on the Mid-North Coast of New South Wales. The school values its natural environment and integrates environmental education into its curriculum, encouraging students to care for themselves and their communities. Strong ties with the local community facilitate various extra-curricular activities that benefit both students and residents. One of the school's standout features is its Bilingual Program, which offers instruction in Bahasa Indonesia for 90 minutes a day, linking students with their Asian neighbours. Additionally, Scotts Head Public School is part of the BRIDGE Program, twinning with a sister school in Lombok, Indonesia, fostering global citizenship among students.

The school aims to provide a nurturing environment where every child feels secure and able to thrive from their first day. Teachers at Scotts Head Public School create engaging, student-centred classrooms that promote curiosity, critical thinking, and self-regulation, preparing students for future academic and personal success. With a focus on wellbeing, the school supports each family's needs and co-designs learning plans to ensure that every student can learn in a manner that suits them best. In celebrating diversity and inclusion, the school respects the traditional custodians of the land, the Gumbaynggirr people, and aims to develop culturally aware and responsible global citizens.

## Mission

At Scotts Head Public School, we nurture the physical, social, emotional, and academic wellbeing of every student in a safe, caring, and inclusive bilingual community. Through our Bahasa Indonesia program, we foster global perspectives and cultural understanding.
