As the principal of Manly Village Public School I am immensely proud of our people, our programs and our progress. I believe it is the people at Manly Village and our shared commitment towards providing an optimal education for all of the children, which helps make it such a special place. I believe the school's strengths are its people - the happy and hardworking students and the talented and dedicated staff who work in partnership with a generous and capable parent community. Thus supporting the adage, 'It takes a village to raise a child.'
As you navigate through the pages of our website, you will discover that we offer a diverse range of quality programs across academic, cultural, social, physical and moral domains, providing our students with a multitude of opportunities and a balanced education within a supportive environment.
It is an exciting time to be at Manly Village Public School as we embrace a range of innovative programs and practices designed to optimise teaching and learning. Our major focus areas for 2012 are literacy, numeracy, 21st century skills and student well being. During 2011 we looked at improving growth rates in literacy, so that they matched 2009 levels. These had been the highest in several years and we were pleased to have achieved an increase in growth rates in 2011.
It has now been 4 years since we celebrated our sesquicentenary (150th birthday). As the first school to be established on the Northern Beaches 150 years ago, we honoured our long and distinguished history of quality public education, while we simultaneously celebrated the present and looked to the future.
As our motto states, we are honour bound - honour bound to develop model citizens and to prepare our students for the challenges ahead of them within an ever changing society. This means we continually reflect on current programs and practices so that we are well positioned to provide students with a relevant and innovative education.
Thank you for visiting our website.

We warmly welcome families from all over the world who choose to live in Manly, that special place nestled between the surf and the harbour.

Manly Village Public School is uniquely situated between Manly Beach and Sydney Harbour. Founded in 1858, we are proud to be one of the oldest government schools in New South Wales. We are a medium-sized school, where students are known to, and supported by dedicated staff.
A range of exciting programs are offered to students, including enrichment and extension for gifted and talented students and programs for students with special needs. At our school it is considered essential that students master literacy, numeracy and life skills in their important beginning years at school. An understanding of cultural differences is fostered and we welcome students and their families from many different countries.
Parents are always encouraged to communicate with the teachers and Principal and become involved in the exciting and important activities of our school, its P&C and School Council. Parents are valued as partners in the important task of giving your child the best possible start in their education.
We trust the information contained in this website helps you to understand the school and what it can offer your child. It is also important that you read the Sea Sider newsletter for important information and regular updates on what is happening at school.
