School Vision
Our vision is for all students and staff to enjoy coming to school and that we provide a high quality, inclusive and holistic school experience for all members of the school community. Our purpose is to provide opportunities that support the development of confident and creative individuals and active and informed citizens, who become lifelong learners.
School Context
Mount Terry Public School was established in 1995 and is located in the relatively new south-western residential area of Albion Park. The land on which the school is built was a former dairy farm and the southern boundary of the school leads to the rural land between Albion Park and Jamberoo.
At the heart of the school site stands a magnificent heritage listed figtree. This tree is a visual link to the school ethos, 'Growing Strong, Reaching Far', with the roots of the tree spreading deep and far, above and below the ground, reflecting the impact of the school on young lives, as the education offered at Mount Terry builds a strong foundation for our students far into the future.
Our dedicated teaching staff are committed to teamwork, collegiality, professional growth and continuous improvement. They set high expectations and work hard to cater for the needs of every student. There is a dynamic mix of early career and experienced educators, all of whom show genuine care for the whole school community and provide a myriad of targeted programs and extra-curricular opportunities to support the development of students. These include programs in the areas of environmental education, sport, the arts, high performance and gifted education and technology. By providing a holistic approach to learning, students establish a sense of self and a place in the global community. The development of school-wide wellbeing processes and practices will contribute to positive wellbeing and enable students to be healthy, happy, engaged and successful.
The staff and parents of Mount Terry Public School enjoy a positive relationship, working side by side to actively promote our shared vision. The school community contributes to a rigorous process of self-evaluation, with a focus committed to school improvement.
