Our spacious, newly constructed school setting is nestled at the foothills of the iconic Snowy Mountains, on Ngarigo land and proudly features a new preschool, set to open in 2027.
At Jindabyne Public School, every child is nurtured in a caring and supportive learning environment, designed to empower them to achieve their full potential.
Our core values of respect, responsibility, and striving for personal best are at the heart of everything we do. Unique, high potential gifted education opportunities such as snow sports, tailored academic programs and wellbeing initiatives are offered and encouraged at Jindabyne Public School to cater for each and every students' interest and ability.
Our dedicated staff are committed to fostering excellence, equity, and inclusion. Through fostering strong partnerships with families, we ensure each student feels valued, known, and empowered to learn.
Our vision is clear: to transform lives and inspire excellence through student engagement and success, evidence-based explicit teaching practices, collaborative innovation, and inclusive community engagement.
