About us
Milperra Public School is a vibrant NSW Government primary school located in Sydney’s south-west, proudly welcoming children from Kindergarten to Year 6. Our school community has a rich history, beginning in 1918 when Milperra was first established to serve the children of returned servicemen from World War I. Originally situated on Bullecourt Avenue, the school relocated to its current site on Pozieres Avenue in 1975, continuing its tradition of excellence in education.
At Milperra Public School, our motto, “Aim High,” embodies our commitment to fostering high expectations and encouraging every student to strive for excellence. We believe that setting ambitious goals inspires children to push beyond limits, build resilience, and develop a growth mindset. This philosophy guides everything we do, from classroom learning to extracurricular activities, empowering our students to reach their fullest potential and become confident, capable learners prepared for future challenges.
We are proud of our well-established academic, sporting, and cultural traditions. Every child is nurtured to develop their unique talents, interests, and abilities, helping them to achieve their full potential. Our dedicated teaching team focuses on building solid foundations in literacy and numeracy while addressing the individual learning needs of each student. Above all, we foster a safe, supportive, and positive environment where every child feels happy, secure, and ready to engage with learning.
