At Penshurst West Public School we believe that as a school community we endeavour to establish an educational program where each student develops a positive self-image and the ability to function as a productive member of our society. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning and behaviours and are provided with experiences that are both empowering and challenging. Through a balanced curriculum, opportunities are provided to enable all students to achieve at their optimum performance level. We have a commitment to being positive and friendly, showing respect and tolerance for each other's differences, and providing interesting and meaningful experiences within a clean and safe environment.
