Integrating multiple subjects and using differentiated teaching supports diverse learners, helping every student build skills for lifelong learning.

Community Partnerships

At Terrey Hills Public School, strong community engagement is key to our success. We host fundraising events, discos, Mothers’ and Fathers’ Day celebrations, and BBQs to bring families and staff together. Grandparents play a special role in enriching our community. Our Book Week and Education Week events highlight student achievements and the joy of learning. Join us in creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every child thrives.

Story Dogs Reading Program

The Story Dogs Reading Program at Terrey Hills Public School is a free, volunteer-run initiative where children read one-on-one to trained dogs and handlers. This calm, non-judgemental setting boosts reading confidence and fluency by making reading fun and stress-free.

Students read at their own pace, often using prompts like, “Elle doesn’t understand this page, can you tell her?” to encourage reading aloud, helping improve focus and literacy skills.

PSSA (Primary Schools Sporting Association)

Participating in Warringah PSSA allows students to develop essential skills, build confidence, and create lasting friendships while enjoying the thrill of friendly competition. With a diverse selection of sports to choose from, every child can find something they love, whether it’s soccer, netball, cricket, or more.

The supportive and inclusive environment ensures every student feels valued and motivated, making PSSA a highlight of the school experience.

Community Service

Each year, our Student Leaders proudly represent the school at ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day Services, honouring the bravery and sacrifice of those who served. Through heartfelt speeches, they share their personal reflections on the significance of these events, inspiring understanding and respect within the community. Their leadership and commitment help preserve the memory of our history, connecting past sacrifices to today’s values and ensuring these important traditions continue to inspire future generations.

Overnight trips to Canberra and the Great Aussie Bush Camp

Overnight trips to Canberra and the Great Aussie Bush Camp give students hands-on learning and fun experiences. In Canberra, they visit important places like the Australian War Memorial and Parliament House to learn about history and government. At the Bush Camp, they enjoy nature, team activities, and outdoor skills. These trips help students become more independent, confident, and make friends while learning in a new way. They create lasting memories and support personal growth.

Mum & Me Dance Party - Connecting Community and Supporting Our School

Terrey Hills Public School’s P&C proudly hosted the Mum & Me Dance Party, celebrating the special bond between mums and children for Mother’s Day.

Filled with fun, laughter, and dancing, the event highlighted the strong community spirit the P&C fosters. Thanks to our volunteers and families, valuable funds were raised to support school programs and resources.

Join the P&C to help create more events that bring our community together and enhance student wellbeing.
