Welcome to Currambena

"..at whose centre stands the concept of human dignity"
(Yaacov Hecht)

We are a democratic school based on the North Shore of Sydney that offers truly child-centred education for both pre and primary school children.

Established over 40 years ago, we have long been recognised as a leader in innovative educational thinking. At Currambena we deliver a holistic approach to learning, with the help of a flexible curriculum, which focuses on developing a child’s skills for life as well as high academic standards.

Currambena Primary

Our small class sizes and high teacher to student ratios enable us to work with each student to develop a challenging and inspiring program while providing freedom of choice that builds a deep and lasting love of learning.

Currambena Preschool

Our main focus in Preschool is on building relationships with children and families within the Currambena community. We believe that play is an essential tool that encourages the children to learn.

Conflict Resolution

In a world where bullying in schools is a well documented problem, Currambena has a different approach. We actively teach children the skills, strategies and language to resolve conflict effectively.

Imagine… if your child felt like this about his or her school:

"When you graze your knee or miss your parents and cry about this, people just comfort you with all their love and you just feel really special about this. They don’t tease you." - Tessa

Democracy

At Currambena all decisions that affect the school are made at class, school and council meetings. Each student, parent and staff member has an equal vote and together we share the responsibility for the quality of life at the school, building children’s understanding, pride and ownership of their environment.
