Why choose us?
At our school, we are proud to be a welcoming and inclusive community where every student feels valued. We celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our students and encourage each child to strive for their best and achieve their full potential.
Our motto, “Strive for the Best,” guides everything we do. We believe in important values like honesty, fairness, teamwork, care, and aiming for excellence. From Preschool to Year 6, we offer a wide range of programs that support learning in academics, the arts, social skills, and sports. Our programs include a selective Opportunity Class for gifted and talented students, classes for students with disabilities, and an Early Intervention Program for preschool children with additional needs.
Learning at our school is supported by experienced and qualified teachers, comfortable classrooms, and a strong focus on technology. We provide language programs and extra help for students learning English as an additional language or those who need additional support.
We also encourage students to develop leadership skills through opportunities such as the Student Representative Council. Our school community benefits from excellent wellbeing programs, a fully equipped preschool, and spacious outdoor areas for play and recreation.
Our vision: The Smithfield Public School community is committed to creating a dynamic, nurturing learning environment based on collaboration, respect, equity and trust. Students are confident, skilled and creative citizens who are well equipped to positively contribute to a complex and dynamic society.

"I enrolled my own children at the school I teach at because I trust Smithfield Public School. I believe in the school vision, the school spirit, the teaching culture and the community to bring forward their best efforts to nurture my children.
I'm also impressed with the school's efforts in partnering with the wider community. There are so many events and learning opportunities for the students to enjoy and participate in, and I'm confident that my children will be supported and can flourish thanks to our commitment to offering a range of educational and fun experiences.
I've bonded with staff, parents, and students over a long time. I also grew up in this area, so Smithfield Public School truly does feel like home, and that's why I've enrolled my children here." — David Sun, a parent and teacher at Smithfield Public School
