Ballimore Public School is located 32km north east of Dubbo on traditional lands of the Wiradjuri People and belongs to the Mudgee Network of Schools. The school, with an enrolment of 18 students, 17% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, is a small rural school with a committed staff and high expectations that all students learn and grow through a supported and inclusive environment. We place a strong focus on ensuring our teaching and learning programs are differentiated to cater for the diverse learning needs of our students, with a priority on robust literacy and numeracy programs.
Through the situational analysis, the evidence showed that a focus on comprehension, analysis of data skills, effective partnerships and teaching and learning are required to improve evidence based practices leading to improvement in student outcomes.
The school benefits from the significant support of an active and dedicated Parents' and Citizens' Association which together with the wider community volunteer their time to support student learning and to raise funds for the school.
Parents, staff, students and community members share a strong sense of ownership and commitment to the ongoing development of Ballimore Public School.
