There's always something to celebrate at our school! From exciting events to proud moments and everyday wins, here are some of our highlights.

A year at our school

A unique feature of our school is our Walking Trail, Yanama Budyiri Gumada, which means Walk with Good Spirit. This special trail reflects our deep respect for Country and connection to place, offering students hands-on opportunities to learn about the environment, sustainability, and local Aboriginal culture in meaningful ways.

Have a story to share?

Leura Public School officially opened on 6^th March 1906, with an enrolment of 41 pupils, but by the end of April this number had risen to 84. The original school was timber building designed to accommodate 144 pupils. The first principal, or teacher–in-charge was Mr Gollan.

The school population grew so rapidly that the Department of Lands needed to release more land in 1912, 1956 and 1968.

Unfortunately, the original school buildings were destroyed on 2^nd December 1957 by a bushfire that devastated the villages of Leura and Wentworth Falls. The steps of the original building can be found on the edge of the Thanksgiving Foundation garden.
