We’re proud of our dedicated staff and strong partnerships with families. Together, we ensure students feel valued and inspired to learn.
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.

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.
