Terrigal Public School is a Kindergarten to Year 6 co-educational primary school located in the heart of Terrigal.

We warmly welcome students from all backgrounds and cultures and are committed to providing a high-quality public education for every child.

Our Vision
Terrigal Public School is a place where every student, teacher and leader continually learns, grows and thrives. We are committed to ensuring all students meet and exceed their academic goals while nurturing the whole child—their wellbeing, identity, strengths, voice and sense of belonging.
Student voice is at the heart of our vision. When students feel heard and valued, they grow in confidence, take greater ownership of their learning and contribute meaningfully to school life. Their ideas and perspectives help shape our practices, enrich our culture, and ensure every student knows they can make a real difference.
We value excellence, respect and integrity, and we uphold a culture of high trust where every member of our community is known, supported and empowered to succeed. Together, we create a dynamic learning environment where all learners are challenged, inspired and equipped for a bright and successful future.
