Our principal and staff

Our school team is committed to every student’s learning, wellbeing and sense of belonging. We work together to create a supportive and inclusive school where every child is set up for success.

Welcome from our principal

Welcome to Rydalmere East Public School – our beautiful school with gorgeous grounds and panoramic views of Sydney, where our students ‘Strive for Success’.

As a school, we celebrate the journey students take at Rydalmere East Public School, focusing on how we are creating futures.  From the first days in preschool to the end of primary school, our community is preparing young people to be agile thinkers and lifelong learners. Together we are creating an engaged and inclusive community.

We have on offer an array of extra-curricular activities. From Irish dancing, a K-2 dance group, the student representative council, choir, robotics,  gardening, games club and Defence Club, these are just some of the learning opportunities your child can be a part of on ‘Team REPS’. These are a credit to our wonderful teachers at Rydalmere East PS.

Our School Vision is that Rydalmere East Public School's aim is to empower all students to embrace learning, achieve their personal best and build their academic, emotional, social and physical well-being.

We are #REPSProud and look forward to welcoming your family into our community.
