Welcome to our community at Narrabeen North Public School.
At Narrabeen North you will find happy and engaged students who enjoy being taught by teachers who demonstrate a high level of care and interest in children as individuals, with an emphasis on their academic, social, physical and emotional wellbeing.
Our students are curious, compassionate, articulate, responsible, and display a strong sense of community. The school’s priority is to see every child reach their potential through a culture that promotes excellence, equality and high expectations.
The school is ‘future focused’ and we use critical thinking, problem-solving skills and technology to prepare students for a fast changing and evolving world.
