Open Day – Wednesday 17 June
If you’re making the important decision about schools in Sydney’s east, Clovelly Public School P&C Association’s upcoming Open Day is a great opportunity to get a genuine feel for what student life is really like at this popular, community-focused school.
The doors to Clovelly Public School are opening on Wednesday 17 June (9:30–11:00am), inviting families to find out more about the activities and opportunities available, step inside the classrooms, meet the people behind the school, and experience the community that makes it so special.
The morning is designed to be interactive and welcoming. Visitors can chat directly with teachers, ask questions, and hear from student and staff panels about their real experiences. It’s a chance to move beyond brochures and see how the school actually operates day-to-day and what makes the students excited to come to school each day.
You’ll also be able to tour the grounds and get a sense of the learning environment – from classrooms to outdoor spaces – and see how students engage across a wide range of programs. Clovelly has built a strong reputation for offering a holistic education that supports both academic growth and personal development. From early years through to Year 6, students have access to opportunities like public speaking, debating, academic extension, a variety of creative and performing arts programs including band, choir, and drama.
Sport is another highlight of school life, with interschool competitions, carnivals and clubs helping kids stay active, foster teamwork and excel in high-performing arenas. Beyond that, there are plenty of extracurricular options – think chess, science, art, languages and more – reflecting a school culture that values curiosity and creativity alongside core learning.
What stands out most, though, is the emphasis on community. Programs like buddy systems, student leadership, wellbeing initiatives and the famous community-wide events help create a strong sense of belonging and pride. There’s also a practical side that busy families will appreciate, including before-and after-school care and a daily canteen.
For local families weighing up their options, this Open Day offers a relaxed, informative and hands-on way to see whether Clovelly Public School is the right fit for your family. Plus, there’s the chance to pet the school mascot (a turtle) and a special visit from Royal, the school support dog.
