Summer Hill Public School

The Summer Hill Public School difference

Student voice

At our school, student voice and agency empower learners to take an active role in shaping their educational experiences and outcomes.

Inclusivity

Inclusivity ensures that every student, teacher and family member feels valued, respected, and supported to fully participate in all aspects of school life.

We have experienced specialists in the area of Learning Support, librarianship, HPGE, EAL/D, Environmental Education, sport and performing arts so that every student is offered every possible opportunity for success, challenge and engagement.

Co and extra-curricular

Students are able to pursue their passions within and beyond the classroom working with trained staff in the areas of robotics and coding, music and performing arts (4 bands, 3 orchestras, 2 recorder ensembles, 2 ukelele groups and a dance group) chess, languages (Chinese, French and Greek) and sport.

Principal's message

“Welcome to Summer Hill Public School, a proud and historic institution, located in the vibrant inner-west community of Summer Hill. We are home to around 650 students from diverse cultural and family backgrounds who share a passion for learning and a commitment to high expectations and inclusion. Our highly motivated and dedicated staff work tirelessly to provide a balanced, nurturing education that supports each child's academic, social, and emotional growth, preparing them to thrive both now and in the future.

At Summer Hill Public School, we celebrate a rich tradition of academic excellence, highlighted by our Opportunity Classes for Years 5 and 6 and supported by best practice in curriculum differentiation across all classrooms so that students can enter their learning experiences at their various points of need in safe and stimulating classroom environments. Students have access to an extensive range of enrichment programs including music, drama, debating, chess and sport. As well as being strong advocates for student agency and voice, we are fortunate to have a strong partnership with our enthusiastic P&C, whose collaboration helps foster a welcoming and engaging school community.

Our vision is to create positive, supportive learning environments where every student feels valued, known, and inspired to achieve meaningful goals, develop confidence and resilience, and become lifelong learners and responsible citizens. We warmly welcome you to join us on this exciting educational journey.”
