Vaucluse Public School is located in a quiet, picturesque setting between Cambridge Avenue and Village High Road in Vaucluse.
Established in 1858, the school reflects the strong sense of belonging that is so much a part of the local community. As well as achieving success in literacy and numeracy, the school offers programs that enrich the learning of all its students.
Vaucluse Public School is committed to helping each child reach their full potential with a strong emphasis on academic learning blended with an approach which includes the social, community, physical and emotional areas of each child's development.

Our skilled and dedicated staff work collaboratively to ensure each learner is stretched, encouraged, and inspired to achieve personal excellence across all areas of learning.
