Welcome to our school

Mount Colah Public School is an attractive well-resourced school, located in beautiful grounds.

Our School

Mount Colah Public School is situated in a bushland setting, north of Hornsby. It has a current enrolment of 460 students. Trained and dedicated teachers deliver quality teaching programs in a caring and supportive environment. Our school has experienced continuous improvement, particularly in literacy and numeracy over a number of years. Our school provides a well-rounded education with the development of 'the whole child' seen as important, through its successful academic, sport, performing arts and technology programs. The school also enjoys a strong parent and community involvement.

School Vision Statement

At Mount Colah Public School our vision is that children leave this school with:

a set of values - honesty, integrity and good judgement.
a complement of essential skills - linguistic, mathematical, scientific, artistic, physical and social.
an equiring and discriminating mind and a desire for knowledge.
strong self-esteem and high expectations.
inclusivity and respect for others.

We value the partnership which exists between school, parents and community and the part it plays in realising this vision.
