Principal's message
“Botany Public School is a vibrant, community-focused school in the heart of Sydney, where every child is known, supported, and inspired to thrive. Our students enjoy the best of both worlds - an expansive natural setting filled with native flora and fauna, and a strong sense of connection within our diverse school community.
With small class sizes, a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities and a focus on positive relationships, we ensure that every student can succeed. Our curriculum is broad and engaging, with specialist teachers, creative arts, sport, excursions, and extra-curricular opportunities that cater to all interests.
We invite you to explore our school and discover what makes our community so special.”
