Why families choose us

"We couldn’t have asked for a better school for our 3 kids. They’ve been given so many wonderful opportunities to learn and grow, the teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly invested in their success, and the beautiful office staff are always warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The school’s inclusive environment makes every child feel valued and supported. We’re truly grateful." A parent of Bathurst West Public School

Located in Bathurst, our school is easy to access by public transport, walking or driving. This makes every day at school more convenient for our families.

"From 2016 when my eldest started Kindy at Bathurst West, I have been delighted with the school. I have four children who have been so happy to go to school, learn lots and make great friends. The teachers and other staff create a lovely supportive environment and I can't recommend West more highly. I will be sad when my youngest finishes Year 6 in a couple of years." — a parent of Bathurst West Public School
