Welcome to Eastern Creek Public School!
At Eastern Creek Public School we prepare young individuals for rewarding lives as engaged members of society. We support the development of students with a focus on student wellbeing, student academic growth and social success. Teachers, parents and students work in partnership to maintain high expectations and a positive environment where every student is known, valued and cared for.
Our wonderful school caters for students in Preschool through to Year 6 with a student enrolment of 268.
Our School values are Safety, Teamwork, Aim High and Respect (STAR), resulting in SUCCESS (STARS), which provides the foundation for a positive school culture, supported by the motto, 'Dare to Do Well'. These reflect the qualities and attributes we aim to see in every student.
